THANKFUL THURSDAY – 1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-26

²³ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.²⁵ After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

PRECIOUS FATHER, in the name of JESUS, on this Thankful Thursday, we pause to remember those thousands of years ago when on this day you were getting ready to lay down you life for us to pay the ultimate price for our sins. You told your disciples to remember each time they took the bread and the cup; to remember the great love you had for us.  We are forever grateful and thankful for your sacrifice, O GOD.  We praise you, O GOD, and remember all the days of our lives in JESUS’ name, AMEN.

GOOD FRIDAY – MATTHEW 27:60

⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

PRECIOUS FATHER, in the name of JESUS, we thank you, kind sir, for this day that represents the time when you sewed a seed into the world; your only begotten son. We thank you, O GOD, for that great seed that you sewed which is your own and only son. LORD, we can never ever tell you thank you, enough and we can never repay you for such a gift.  All we can give is our life and our love and our praise. Thank you, sir, in JESUS’ name, AMEN.
