Maundy Thursday

The Last Supper was the final meal for Jesus and his apostles twelve

Indicated in the First Epistle to the Corinthian precisely where we'll delve

Paul was the first to spread relation and it's told this way,

they joined together on Maundy Thursday on that holy day

It wasn't long after Jesus made his triumphant entry

into Jerusalem that marked the epic apex of the century

John states that two disciples were sent from Bethany to the village beside

to bring back for the Lord, their Master a donkey, one that he would ride

Jesus asked of them to find an ass tied up and never ridden

The animal being the symbol of peace in this message hidden

The crowd awaiting their Lords arrival lay down their very cloak

and branches small and plenty to corroborate invoke

Multitudes of believers proclaimed word of the holy one,

a splendid feast prepared for all welcoming Gods son

Faith in his holy manner boosted with the telling of his revelation

The miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead spread through the congregation

All that were in hope of divine help from Jesus shouted "Hosanna" out in praise

As he declared his cleanse of Herod's Temple would be finished in three days

His only use of physical force as he whipped the thieves out of their den

claiming back and restoring the house of his Father to make it pure again

Absolution completed, Jesus invited his twelve guests to dine

upon a feast of plenty including bread and wine

Seated in the center sided by his six, the Prince of peace would sit

pronouncing denial and deception and predicting which two of twelve commit

Mathews affirmation of the verse spoken that very day

of woe to the man to whom the son of God he would betray

Judas turned to the Rabbi and asked "It isn't me?"

and Jesus answered "You said It" and yes it will be

Proven and justified later by his own commands

Judas was the traitor with the bag in his hands

Peter was predicted to deny Christ not only once but three

Peter swore he would never disown his Lord, that he'd die for thee

All the apostles complied with Peter and voiced so as they rose

but later heard the truth of culprit preceding rooster crows

In repent of his sin, Peter would later weep,

as Jesus turned to confirm the face of the black sheep

Peter stayed the night, despite the Saviours prophecy

Jesus requisitioned Judas out to see who he must see

Judas left and reportedly went to meet with the Jewish authority

to get paid for marking Christ by saluting a kiss of the ordinary

Jesus was arrested and hauled off to the high priest tower

where he was denounced, damned and sentenced by unholy power

Jesus was to be crucified, hung on a cross for all to think about

Faithful followers still believing their redeemer was devout

All that were at the blessed meal knew deep inside that Jesus did not holey part

for he blessed wine and broke bread offered as his body and soul and will remain alive within their heart

Eleven of the twelve apostles spread his last words to sister and to brother,

his last commandment given them to love each and one another.
