NOVEMBER 20  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  

JQ#32

 “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?”  

(Matthew 26:40)

************11/20/25 Thursday: ************

This morning at 3:03a I woke up and THE HOLY SPIRIT 

impressed upon me the need to start FFCC —

The concept is simple and all the infrastructure exists already,

 nothing needs to be “invented” 

and nothing new is needed.

The HOLY SPIRIT is leading me through this 

Daily JESUS QUESTIONS CONCEPT to initiate

FAMILY FIRST CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer   

JESUS, each morning my spirit looks to Your Spirit for the renewing

 of Your Mercies and for my “daily bread” that will nourish both my 

soul and my physical body. Lord You  were obedient to the Father 

unto death as You suffered and died for my iniquities in order that 

my sins would be forgiven and through Your Righteousness and 

through the Remission of Sin I might have Fellowship with the Father —

 and the Really Good News is that “IT IS FINISHED” 

and there is NOTHING LEFT FOR GOD TO DO!!!

To receive God’s Free Pardon from sin and Your Perfect Peace, 

all that we need to do is to Believe “IT IS FINISHED” and accept

 “YOUR GIFT OF GRACE” — so I pray as did the disciples that You

 would daily grow my FAITH and help me with my unbelief.

 Lord You are Sovereign 

and I believe that 

“all things are possible with God”!!!   

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus had just sat down at the Passover Table in the upper room and 

Jesus opened the Passover Meal with an announcement that one of

 the disciples eating this Passover Meal would “betray” Him. 

(Matthew 26:21b) 

This statement of imminent betrayal got the disciples

 attention and it should get our attention as well for Jesus is the 

Master Teacher and is demonstrating that His Purpose is to educate

 the world of God’s Plan of Salvation and with both by His Life and soon,

 very soon, His Death!  Jesus will reveal the importance of  Living a 

Sinless Life up to His Death on the Cross to completing God’s Plan

 which was in place “before the foundation of the world”!!! As the

 murmurs of His disciples died down as they each had asked 

“Is it I?”,

 that “Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it

 to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.” 

(Matthew 26:26)

 This was the institution of the Lord’s Supper or Communion 

which is still observed today. 

Yet, even after being observed for over 2000 years 

we still miss the total significance 

of what Jesus meant when He said,

 “Take, eat…” 

in reference to the Passover Bread He offered to the 

disciples as Jesus “broke” the bread.  

He explained this breaking of the PASSOVER BREAD as He had

 done with His previous parables that the “bread” 

was symbolic of His Body.

Scripture records that Jesus broke the bread with His own hands

 and then Jesus

 “gave it to the disciples” 

(Matthew 26:26) 

We miss that Jesus voluntarily “broke” the “bread” 

and “gave it” freely to

 those that had chosen to share the Passover with Him. 

Jesus then did the same with the Passover Cup 

as Jesus clearly commanded His disciples,

 “Drink from it, all of you. 

For this is My blood of the new covenant,

 which is shed for many for the remission of sin.” 

(Matthew 26:27-28) 

Jesus could not have Taught a better Lesson than calling our attention

 to our “sin of betrayal” of which we are all guilty and then Jesus 

demonstrated God’s Solution to the sin problem 

by Jesus Himself having

 “His Body Broken” and “His Blood Shed” 

for the “remission of sin”!!! 

In the continuity of God’s Master Plan, Jesus and the disciples ate

 the Passover Meal and went out to the Mount of Olives and again to get

 the disciples attention and to focus them on the important issue, 

Jesus said to them,

 “All of you will be made to stumble 

because of Me this night…” 

(Matthew 26:31) 

But as with all Lessons Jesus Teaches, He never leaves us hanging

 as to what He “Means” for immediately Jesus referred to Scriptures and 

explained “the Shepherd” would be killed and the “sheep scattered” 

but as part of God’s Plan that once t

he “Shepherd” is killed that God

 will “resurrect” the “Shepherd” 

and Jesus has made it perfectly clear 

that He is the “Good Shepherd” 

and that He has Supreme Confidence

 that He “MUST DIE” and that He

 “WILL BE RAISED THE THIRD DAY”!!! 

Once again God demonstrates that everything is part of

 God’s Plan of Salvation 

and everything is 

“Under His Control” — 

up to and including death — 

AND RESURRECTION!!!
