This chapter, in which Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper shows us four important things.  They are Judas’s betrayal, Peter’s denial, Christ’s prayer and Christ’s covenant.

A Sinner’s Prayer Prompted by the Last Passover in Luke 22

Dear God and heavenly Father,

I know that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I confess that there is nothing that I can do to save myself.  I admit my complete inability to work my way to heaven or to somehow be good enough to be saved.  Instead, I trust Christ and Christ alone as the One who bore my sin when He died on the cross.

I believe that I can come to you directly on the basis of Christ’s shed blood and in so doing not have to face your holy judgment.  I believe that Christ was raised from the dead and I take this as a guarantee of my own resurrection.  Help me now to live completely for you.

Please fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I might walk in newness of life.  And help me to carry out your will each and every day until I meet you face to face.

In Christ,

Amen

In the week leading up to his crucifixion, Jesus looks briefly toward the future. A big lesson is that Christians should be watching and waiting expectantly for Jesus while serving him now here on earth.

A Prayer Prompted by Luke 21

Heavenly Father,

You are allowing us to live in troubling times. All around us we see war, disease, unrest. Our society seems right now to be falling apart.

Help us to find our strength and stability in you.  Allow us to be a light during these dark days as we point people to you.  Help us not to get sidetracked by the conflicts of our age. We know that instability is in some ways normal during these times in which we live.

Help us to be peacemakers while we look forward to the peace that will only come when Jesus, the Prince of Peace, returns.

In Christ,

Amen
