They came in high spirits!!! Jesus had been hailed with celebrations by the crowds as he came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey!! Now they were setting up for one of their most sacred holiday meals - one that commemorated freedom from slavery! It was all building up to a long-dreamed-for moment, when Jesus would take on his role as king of Israel, cast off the iron rule of Rome, and restore them as the prosperous and blessed nation of God!
Little did they understand the traumatic turn of events that lay ahead of them. Although the reversal of roles as Jesus knelt before each one that night, as a servant, held a poignant clue.
