The Last Supper
Steve Brown, President Columbia Bible College
Some meals are unforgettable. The disciples would never forget this last supper with Jesus—not just because of what he said, but because of what he did. In John 13:1–17, we see Jesus living out his message and inviting us to lean into community, to serve, and to receive.

It represents setting aside time to be present with the Father and turns out its essential to being a follower of Jesus, yet it seems to be the first thing we set aside in the busyness of life.
