Luke 22:15 - Jesus as eager! Consider this.

Luke 22:15 "Jesus said, 'I have been very eager to eat this Passover
meal with you before my suffering begins.'"

Jesus eagerly desired to eat with the disciples. He looked forward to
eating and fellowship with the disciples. Jesus seems to have feelings
for those attending at the Last Supper.

Today I ask why? What was He desiring?

Did Jesus have a concern for himself or his followers?

Was he concerned about his death?

Did he have great fondness for His disciples?

What was he eager to experience with the disciples?

Was it His message that He finally able to deliver?

I tend to think that Jesus was anticipating the message that included
His message of the cross.

...perhaps too His message of overcoming the grave.

...and too His bad news to Judas and Peter.

...His message of the Communion experience.

...or even His expression of deep fellowship.

Isn't it great that we can have such an eagerly anticipated relation
with Jesus?

Indeed! Consider this!
