When it was time, he sat down, all the apostles with him, and said, "You've no idea how much I have looked forward to eating this Passover meal with you before I enter my time of suffering. It's the last one I'll eat until we all eat it together in the kingdom of God." Taking the cup, he blessed it, then said, "Take this and pass it among you. As for me, I'll not drink wine again until the kingdom of God arrives." Taking bread, he blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, given for you. Eat it in my memory." He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood poured out for you. "Do you realize that the hand of the one who is betraying me is at this moment on this table? It's true that the Son of Man is going down a path already marked out—no surprises there. But for the one who turns him in, turns traitor to the Son of Man, this is doomsday." They immediately became suspicious of each other and began quizzing one another, wondering who might be about to do this.
Luke 22:14-23
Join Jesus at the table, it has been prepared just for you. Take a piece of bread and dip it in the cup. As you cup your hand under the soaked bread you may catch a drop of the grape juice. Recall that Jesus proclaimed this to be his blood. What does it mean for you this Good Friday to have Jesus’ blood on your hands?

Jesus' blood on my hand means that I know the truth – through the giving of his life we will all be together with him in eternity. Thank you lord Jesus, my savior.
Can we ever truly repay our sin debt to Jesus? He entered his final hours unlike any other. Thank you my Lord.
As the grape juice dripped in my hand I am overcome with tears for Jesus died for me. Thank you Lord.
I have been washed clean by your blood. Thank you Jesus.
From “why me?” to “who, me?” The fruit of the grape is dark and turbid, like mud.
How am I complicit in the injustices of the this world? What do I do to alleviate suffering beyond my borders?
I enjoyed this meal. It brought me back to when Jesus ate his meal.
This experience was a great thing and lesson.
Good Friday means that Jesus gave all he could to us because he loved us as God does.
