The creation of man took place with an ultimate purpose. God had a hidden agenda. Adam and Eve’s journey took a twist from what God had in mind. Their selfish attitudes put a pause to something unique that could only happen in God. God had a purpose, but the couple lost sight on it. God thought of having an intimate relationship with a family as a family; sitting on the table and enjoying each others company, but the couple thought of they only and not including God. Imagine what would have happened if God’s ultimate purpose was fulfilled, there would have not been any room for error; Earth would have remained as pure as it was when it was created. So, God’s eager desire was to communed with man. Jesus demonstrated this desire in the last supper.
Luke 22:15
15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
The other night I had a dream and in the dream I was in heaven in a stage helping people, some handicap in wheel chairs come across a stage. I sensed God’s joy and excitement when the people crossed the stage. I had problem making way for the handicap to cross, but once I cleared the path the crossed. God’s greatest joy is for people to cross the stage of salvation. Because of the ease for being saved, it becomes hard to find (Mt.7:13-14). The highlight of Jesus’ ministry was not raising the dead, healing the blind, or preaching the good news though it was of supreme importance it was the last supper (Lk 22:15). When we repent heaven rejoices (Lk15:7), it is a moment of excitement in heaven. Earth is like that super bowl, or FIFA super game or the world series when everyone is glued to their television waiting to see who wins; so is heaven watching what happens in earth.
Jesus’ passion for the last supper was because it resembles what is going to happen in heaven; the disciples were gathered around the table, and Jesus’ most exhilarating experience was so that he took off his garment and began to wash the disciples feet. Jesus got to see a sample of what will happen in heaven; the feast of the lamb (2cor. 5:10). Our call is to reign, to be kings and queens with Christ, and as Jesus sat with his disciples at the dinner table where the last supper took place he saw them as royalty (1Pt2:9).
