“Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, ‘Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.'” Luke 22:7-8

Tonight at 6:30, we are having a Spaghetti Dinner at FLAP (our Church’s Bible Study). We haven’t had a dinner in a while and being nudged, I felt like it was time. So I ran it past a couple people, they said, “O.K,” and it’s on! And I’ve been running like a mad man!

I don’t like putting people out and hate to ask things of them. So, since it was my idea, I did the research and math to figure out what we needed, went to the store (several times), gathered kitchen supplies, and with Katie, set up the church. Now all that’s left is for volunteers to show up, cook and serve it to the folks who decide to come! Jesus had it EASY!

Jesus told His disciples to“Go and make preparations for us to eat.” He didn’t do math, shop, prep, cook or serve. All He said was “GO!” And they went! Since His disciples were His FOLLOWERS, that means that they were WITH Him. While we think that there were 12 disciples, we know from Scripture there COULD have been more. But we can presume that Peter and John knew how many were coming…AND HOW to prepare! A blessing I second guess.

I have no idea how many people will be coming tonight. Jesus had the ability to multiply food and have baskets full of leftovers. The LAST time we did this we had a boatload of leftovers. So I’m not concerned. But I AM preparing to be prepared! Why? Because, having said “YES” to Jesus myself, I WANT to be!

Peter and John were not given a Job Description when Jesus asked they follow Him. It was assumed that their ‘yes’ was to be found in their footsteps. As time passed, they were led into the deeper territory of ‘whatever!’ Based upon The Word, they all faced mystery, fear, uncertainty and a LOT of crazy in their walk with God! But they had the time of their lives.

Are YOU into ‘Whatever?’ Are YOU prepared to instantly follow, go or say what He asks of you? I have learned that HIS way has never changed. It is ALWAYS costly in time, money and nervousness. He doesn’t give all the details, but expects you to know, or find out, what it takes to get the job done. Reward or judgment falls upon the outcome! But hey!!!!!! It’s Jesus! Nothing to be nervous about… RIGHT?? haaaaaaa!

If you live here, I hope and pray you come. While I’m not sure that it will be the best spaghetti you’ve ever eaten, I CAN tell you this… JESUS will be there! And THAT’S enough for me!
