The Incredible Journey

At Gethsemane, Jesus has just announced that the hour has come, and that the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. He has just told his disciples to get up, because his betrayer has arrived. And at that very moment, Judas arrives leading a large armed mob. Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders. Mark 14:43 Judas appears at the head of the mob. He is the one who is leading the way. The people who come to arrest Jesus are a rabble. There are soldiers there with swords. These are likely part of the Temple Guard, under the authority of the High Priest. Together with them there are people who have brought along clubs, in order to be part of the action. Mark mentions that the crowd was sent “from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.” The chief priests were Sadducees, and they were in charge of the temple in Jerusalem. The teachers of the law were the theologians of their religion. The elders sat on the 71-seat Sanhedrin, the supreme council and court of the Jewish people. I wonder if the people in this mob were proud of themselves. After all, they were obeying their leaders and they were doing their religious duty. Think back on your own life. Is there something that today you regret doing in church or in relation to your faith, particularly if you thought you were doing the right thing at the time? Discuss what happened with a close Christian friend. What can you learn from that experience? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibleJourneyMinistry/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/tij.tv/ ===================================== ABOUT THE MINISTRY The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.We are devoted to giving Biblical answers to life’s questions through television, the Internet, social media, Bible Centre, evangelistic ministry and Christian living and faith-sharing resources. ===================================== ===================================== ABOUT OUR SPEAKER Gary Kent is the speaker for The Incredible Journey media ministry.

The brain is the most sophisticated piece of tissue in the known universe. It’s not only very complex in function – it’s also extremely sensitive and energy demanding. And what we eat impacts it directly. So much so that researchers now know that nutrient deficiencies can foreshadow cognitive decline. Most people think that brain super foods are exotic and expensive foods, that must be gathered from distant and hard-to-reach locations. They couldn’t be more wrong because many of the best superfoods for our amazing brains can be found at our local supermarket or farmers’ market.

Jesus has been praying in anguish of heart. But he hasn’t forgotten his disciples. He is worried for them, because he knows what will happen. And also, he hopes to be able to draw strength from then. So he goes back to see how they are doing, He is about to be bitterly disappointed. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” As much as Jesus is distressed, he has not forgotten his disciples, and so he goes back to where he left Peter, James and John. In what Jesus says to the three, we often see a rebuke, imagining that they were spoken with an angry tone. We need to learn to see Jesus in a different light. Certainly his words conveyed his disappointment, but they were spoken in love. Christ’s concern is their lack of preparation for the coming trial that they are about to face. When Jesus says, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,” he isn’t excusing Peter, James and John; he is merely stating a fact. Just an hour or so back, they had all said that they would never abandon him, even if they had to die with him. And now, when Jesus has asked them to do a simple thing, just to stay awake, they can’t do it! It’s often the simple things that trip us up, isn’t it? But what this passage tells you is that Jesus understands. He understands not just your spirit, but he also understands your flesh. What is it that usually makes you stumble? There’s always something. But if you trust Jesus and stay close to him, he is able to save. === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibleJourneyMinistry/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/tij.tv/ ===================================== ABOUT THE MINISTRY The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.We are devoted to giving Biblical answers to life’s questions through television, the Internet, social media, Bible Centre, evangelistic ministry and Christian living and faith-sharing resources. ===================================== ===================================== ABOUT OUR SPEAKER Gary Kent is the speaker for The Incredible Journey media ministry.

It’s a day some look forward to with excited anticipation and secret hope and others with dread and despair. So, what could this day be? Well, it’s Valentine’s Day, 14 February, the red-letter day of love when the shops are full of red hearts, red roses, chocolates, cards and many gift ideas to share with that special person in your life. Did you know that Americans spend nearly $30 billion on Valentine’s Day each year? And that the first Hallmark Valentine’s Day cards were sold in 1913 and today about 145 million Valentine cards are given each year. A surprising statistic about Valentine’s Day is that teachers receive the most Valentine’s cards annually of anyone in the world. Now, since Valentine’s Day is the second biggest holiday spend after Christmas, let’s take a deeper look at the fascinating facts of how this day of celebrating love began. Well, the legend says, there are at least two men named Valentine that could have inspired this special holiday and both came from the time when the Roman Empire ruled the world. The Roman Emperor Claudius II banned the young soldiers in the Roman army from marrying as he thought it distracted their focus on fighting. So, the priest Valentine secretly and illegally married the young couples until he was caught and sentenced to death. The other Valentine is a man who is remembered for sending the first valentine message. He was sentenced to death for attempting to help Christians escape prison in Rome. Legend has it, that while he was imprisoned, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter and wrote her a message, signed ‘from your Valentine.’ We may not know if these Valentine legends are true, but that isn’t what matters. As the old saying goes, “Love makes the world go round” and the billions of dollars spent on gifts and the millions of couples who get engaged or married each year on Valentine’s Day are a testament to love. So why is this day celebrated? Because we all have this innate need for someone to love us, not just on Valentine’s Day but every day. Jesus has said that the two greatest things in life are loving God and loving each other.

For thousands of years, the same yellow sun has risen over the vast collection of people that we have come to call India in the last century. The term country doesn't capture it. Twenty-eight states — more like Twenty-eight countries — with many traditions, languages, and styles stretching over a geography that varies from the soaring Himalayas to the steamy Bay of Bengal. And yet, within this riot of colour and culture, one building has come to represent India to the world — the Taj Mahal. Today, we will journey into this magnificent masterpiece and discover the superb lesson this great building contains. A lesson it shares with the greatest book the world has ever known.

We have just been told that in Gethsemane, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed to be somehow allowed to avoid what he was facing. We are told this in the third person. But now, the very words that Jesus prayed are reported to us. In Gethsemane, we are standing on holy ground. Every word of God is pure, so let’s listen in on these words from the very heart of the Saviour. “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Jesus was praying for a long time, and although they slept through most of it, at least one of the three disciples nearest to him heard parts of his prayer. These disciples didn’t report his entire prayer word for word. Instead, they reported what stuck in their memories. They remembered what they thought was most remarkable. One of the things about Jesus’ prayer that most stuck in their minds was the name he used for God. Jesus addresses his father with the name, “Abba.” This is an Aramaic word which is best translated as “Daddy.” It indicates a relationship of deep and intimate trust. The disciples were always very impressed with how Jesus prayed. That’s why they asked him to teach them to pray. Notice, then, the pattern of this prayer. First of all, Jesus acknowledges who God his. He is “Abba”– his Father. Then Jesus acknowledges his Father’s sovereign power: “everything is possible for you.” Then Jesus makes his request: “Take this cup from me.” Finally, Jesus recognises the deficiencies of his own will, and submits himself entirely to God: “not what I will, but what you will.” Compare that pattern with how you usually pray. What can you learn from the prayer of Jesus? What can you do differently? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibleJourneyMinistry/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/tij.tv/ ===================================== ABOUT THE MINISTRY The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.We are devoted to giving Biblical answers to life’s questions through television, the Internet, social media, Bible Centre, evangelistic ministry and Christian living and faith-sharing resources. ===================================== ===================================== ABOUT OUR SPEAKER Gary Kent is the speaker for The Incredible Journey media ministry.

I am standing here on the Temple Mount Steps beside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. The Bible comes alive when you step foot in Israel and that’s certainly true when you visit the Temple Steps here in Jerusalem. It’s amazing to think that Jesus would have walked up these very steps on his way to the Temple. Herod the Great originally built these stone steps when he expanded the size of the Temple Mount and rebuilt the Second Temple. Sometimes called the Southern Steps, these steps were originally a set of 30 steps that were 60m or 200 feet wide. It is interesting to note that the stairs are built in a unique repeating pattern of two steps followed by a longer landing. These steps were also known as the Rabbi steps or the Teaching Steps as there is a raised platform built on the side of the steps, It is believed that this is where Jesus would often teach when He was in Jerusalem. It was also the place where Rabbis and other temple teachers would give announcements or speeches to the people as they walked up this busy passageway to the temple. These broad steps led to enormous double and triple gates that you can still see. Jesus and Jewish pilgrims at that time would have climbed these steps and entered the gates that went through magnificent passageways leading to the Temple Mount above. On the wall, you can see the massive stones that Herod would have laid for the foundation of the wall. Above them, you can see the smaller ones that were added after the destruction of the temple by the Romans in 70AD. It is thrilling and inspiring to actually stand on the same steps where Jesus stood. This archaeological finding excavated in 1967 by archaeologist, Benjamin Mazar, verifies the Bible account of Jesus in Jerusalem and strengthens our belief in the story of Jesus. Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. While visiting Israel, he asked his guide if there was a place where Jesus would have walked 2000 years ago. The guide’s immediate answer was the Southern Steps. When he visited these steps, Neil Armstrong is quoted as saying that this was a more exciting moment for him than walking on the moon. === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibleJourneyMinistry/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/tij.tv/ ===================================== ABOUT THE MINISTRY The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.We are devoted to giving Biblical answers to life’s questions through television, the Internet, social media, Bible Centre, evangelistic ministry and Christian living and faith-sharing resources. ===================================== ===================================== ABOUT OUR SPEAKER Gary Kent is the speaker for The Incredible Journey media ministry.

Bert Hinkler was a pioneering aviator, innovator, and designer. He is credited with being the first to fly solo between England and Australia and receiving numerous accolades. Hinkler’s passion was aviation. From a young age, he was fascinated by flight and the aerodynamics that surrounded it. When he was just 19, he invented his first flying machine, which he took for a spin near his hometown of Bundaberg. From that point forward, his life was fully immersed in his first love. There’s a lot that we can learn from the life of Bert Hinkler; passion, dedication, focus, and a single-minded drive toward achieving our goals. But Hinkler’s life also reminds us to remember others with a similar focus and drive. The Bible profiles countless individuals driven by a single-minded focus to accomplish their God-given mission in life. This week we look at the life of Bert Hinkler as well as the lives of a few pioneers featured in the Bible.

In 1979, Israeli archaeologist Gabriel Barkay peered into the semi-darkness of an ancient burial cave in the heart of Jerusalem. What he saw caused his heart to race with excitement. He had entered a long-lost world never intended to be seen by human eyes. Surrounding him were dozens of grinning skeletons – ancient Israelites, dead for thousands of years. And there was treasure, fabulous treasure, including two silver scrolls that carried an important message for us today.

In Jesus’ long prophecy just before the Passover meal, he had told his disciples that the most important thing that they had to do in the future was to keep watch. Now, Jesus and the disciples have reached a place called Gethsemane, and it’s no coincidence that he tells them to keep watch. They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.” – Mark 14:32–34 Jesus went on ahead. He can’t have gone very far, because the three disciples were able to overhear at least part of his prayer, which is why it is recorded in the Gospels. The sorrow that overwhelmed Christ was no ordinary sadness. Jesus said that his distress physically gripped him “to the point of death.” Great and terrible events were about to happen: events that would determine the fate of the world. Jesus tells his three friends to “keep watch.” In Greek, this means to stay awake in order to use your faculties to discern what is happening. What did Jesus mean when he told his disciples to “watch”. He didn’t mean to watch for the coming of the mob so that they could protect him. Jesus meant to “watch” with him. He meant to “watch” what he was watching. What was Jesus “watching”? He was watching his “Heavenly Father” so that he could get through this time and emerge victorious because he had done the Father’s will. Consider your own life, carefully. What are you watching?

When Jesus tells his disciples that they will all fall away, his disciples can’t understand what he is talking about, and they are thrown into sadness and confusion. Why is it that Jesus has been saying these negative, and frankly shocking things all night? As usual, it’s Peter who speaks up. Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times.” But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same. – Mark 14:29–31 Peter is so sure of himself, isn’t he? That’s because he thinks he understands God and God’s plans. Surely God’s view of things has to be the same as his? But it isn’t. Jesus tells Peter the details of his imminent betrayal so that as Peter reflects on it in the days to come, he would realise two important things. First of all, he needed to understand the depth of his betrayal. He would betray his Lord not once, not twice, but three times. Secondly, Peter needed to understand that Jesus knew better than he did about what needed to happen. Right now Peter just doesn’t believe that he could ever do what Jesus says he will do. Look at Christ’s language: “today¬–yes, tonight…you yourself will disown me…” Jesus is setting Peter up for some self-discovery and growth. It’s when the reality about ourselves meets our false illusions that we are able to grow. Don’t just point the finger at poor Peter! Surely, we can all identify with “all the others.” “All the others” also insisted that they would never deny Jesus. ? It wasn’t just Peter. Surely, you too, like Peter, have had to hear the rooster crow twice. The issue is, what are you going to do about it? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

On the way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus told his disciples that they will all abandon him, because of what he is about to go through. He is preparing them for what will happen. However, he tells them that this won’t be the end. But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee. Mark 14:28 Jesus gives his disciples the full picture. He tells them that they will all fall away, and then he follows this with the wonderful word, “But” “But” is a word that changes the reality of what has gone before. “But after I have risen.” This is the reality that will transform the trajectory of the disciples: the resurrection of Jesus. It’s the resurrection of Jesus that makes all the difference in your life as well. This isn’t just because of the very real resurrection that you can look forward to in the future, but also because Christ’s resurrection also changes everything about how you live your life today. The first message that Jesus gave his disciples after his resurrection, was that he would go ahead of them. If you feel that you are going through your own personal Calvary, Jesus has gone ahead of you. If you are facing the enemy of death, Jesus has it ahead of you. On the day of your resurrection, Jesus has gone ahead of you. Wherever the feet of Jesus have stepped, you can safely go. He has won the victory for you. What challenges are you facing right now? Jesus has already gone ahead of you already. In your prayer time today, meditate on this incredible reality and give him thanks. === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

Jesus and his disciples have just left the room where they have celebrated the Passover meal and are now walking past the Temple, out of the city, and then down into the Kidron Valley, and up onto the slopes of the Mount of Olives. This walk may have taken up to 40 minutes. Jesus took this opportunity to tell them some final things that were of great importance. “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ – Mark 14:27 Jesus is an optimist, so why would he tell them that they would all abandon him? Why not simply keep encouraging them? It was because Jesus is a realistic optimist, and he knows that he has to get the disciples safely to the other side of the terrible events that are about to occur. Part of this process is to prepare his disciples by telling them what will happen. Jesus is simply telling them the truth. He always tells us the truth, even when it isn’t what we want to hear. It is also interesting to see how Jesus continues to build his disciples’ faith in him by appealing to the Old Testament. These work together. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will trust in the Word of God. Take some time to think carefully about those times in your life when your faith in God has been stronger, and those times when it has been weaker. How has your faith been affected by the external circumstances of your life? What habit can you start today to help you be strong, and not “fall away” when the tough times come? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

The start of a New Year is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts – as well as a cause for celebration. I love the way that Jesus combined all of this in His story of the prodigal son. It’s about a young man who rebelled and left his father, taking his inheritance with him and wasting it on careless living. Luke 15:14 says, “He spent everything he had . . . and he was left without a thing”. His recklessness had left him lonely and miserable. So, he decided to swallow his pride and return home and ask to be a servant in his father’s house. In Jesus’ story, it’s important to notice the father’s response: “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him . . . The father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate’” (Luke 15:20, 22-23 NIV). The prodigal’s father is like your heavenly Father. No matter what you’ve done, when you come home to God, he wraps you in his love. He gives you his best and says, “All is forgiven! Go get the robe. Go get the shoes. Let’s have a feast! My child has returned to me.” You come home to celebration, not condemnation. A new beginning, a fresh start, a celebration. That’s where we’re at right now. That’s what God’s offering you at the start of this new year. And remember, it’s just the beginning. God’s got great plans for you in the year ahead. Here’s what He says: “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11. Happy New Year! May we all have a blessed New Year full of success, service, and love! Let’s pray to our Heavenly Father, the God of new beginnings. “Dear God, thank you that you make all things new. Today's a new day, a new year, a chance for a new start. Yesterday is gone and with it any regrets, mistakes, or failures we may have experienced. It's a good day to be glad and give thanks, and we do, Lord. Thank you for today, a new opportunity to love, give, and be all that you want us to be." We pray that You will lead us each step of this New Year. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

After the meal, it was the Jewish custom to sing a hymn. It was a joyful song of praise, celebrating the salvation of the Lord that the Passover represented. And that’s precisely what Jesus did with his disciples. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. – Mark 14:26 The Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to, Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. And Jesus did just that. From the upper room in Jerusalem, Jesus was going to the Mount of Olives. He knew that there in the Garden of Gethsemane he would start to agonise under the heavy burden of the sins of the world that he would bear. He began to anticipate the horrors that he would suffer during the next 24 hours. So, before all of that, Jesus sang a hymn. This reminds us of the story in 2 Chronicles 20, in which Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, defeated the army of the Moabites and Ammonites. The King appointed the choir to sing songs of praise to God, to lead the way ahead of the army. As they began to praise God, the army of the enemy destroyed itself. So too, the Cross, that great work of redemption, began with a song of praise. Jesus first of all recognised the sovereignty and goodness of God by singing a hymn with his disciples. Do you begin every day with praise to God? Whether it is a moment of grateful prayer, a song of praise, or a gratitude journal, however, it may be, make it a habit to start your day with praise.   === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

Jesus has just reinterpreted the meaning of the bread and the wine of the Passover meal for his disciples, effectively inaugurating the first “communion meal” or “Lord’s supper.” And now, in a remarkable statement, he points to the reality that his death will not be the end. “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” – Mark 14:25 Amid the talk of betrayal, broken bread, and blood poured out, Jesus adds a note that points to a brighter future. He doesn’t avoid the reality of what he needs to do in the coming hours, but he tells them that they can look forward to a day of victory. Jesus gives them something to look forward to a day in which everything will be made new; a day in which the kingdom of God will be fully manifested. On that day, Jesus will be together with all who have accepted his body and blood for their salvation. The fruit of the vine was never meant to be drunk in sorrow! When Jesus says, “I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God,” this is fulfilled at the end of the book of Revelation, when John writes, “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” What is your favourite song about the glorious future Jesus has prepared for you? Look up the lyrics and pray through them. === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

Jesus now takes the cup of wine and, as he did with the bread, he gives it new meaning for his followers. Step by step, he is teaching them what he is about to do, which is the basis of their salvation. Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. – Mark 14:23–24 Jesus says that the wine represents the blood of the covenant, poured out for many and that the blood of the covenant is his own blood. This is a completely radical idea for the disciples. Jesus was saying that the covenant of salvation between God and his people, which every Jew knew about and relied on, was centered on him because the sacrificial blood was at the very heart of the covenant. More than that, he was telling them that his blood was to be poured out “for many”: many, many more than his Jewish disciples could ever imagine. It was poured out for the salvation of the world. The Gospel tells us that when Jesus gave them the cup, they all drank from it. It’s not good enough to have been told about the blood of Jesus. It’s not good enough to know all about the blood of Jesus. It’s not good enough to be with others who have applied it to their own lives. Jesus said, “They all drank from it.” You have to personally apply it and accept the blood of Jesus as being the very source and nourishment of your life. Is this true for you? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

The uniqueness of this Passover meal continues. It is in fact, along with the first one, the most important Passover Meal in all of history. Because now, step by step, Jesus begins to reinterpret the meaning of the Passover for his disciples. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” When he had taken the bread, the first thing he did was to give thanks, as was the Jewish custom before meals. This meal starts with joyful gratitude to God for the gift that is about to be received. Jesus then broke the bread. Unless the bread was broken, it could not be shared with those who needed to receive it. Without the broken body of Christ, there would be no life for God to share with humanity. And just as Christ himself broke the bread, so too no one broke his body, except as an act of his own will. (John 10:18.) Then Jesus gave the bread to the disciples as a gift, saying to them, “Take it.” Through these words, Jesus was establishing the symbolic link between the broken bread and his sacrifice at Calvary. You can be present at this meal, and eat the bread and drink the wine, but not participate in its meaning, because you don’t spiritually “take it,” as Jesus said, and so you don’t affirm from your heart that the body of Jesus was broken for your salvation. What has been your experience of the Lord’s Supper in the past? What can you personally do to ensure that you more deeply experience its beautiful meaning? === FOR DONATIONS TO THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY === ✅ Tax Deductible Donation: https://tijfund.tij.tv/ ✅ Non-Tax Deductible Donation: https://tij.tv/donate/ ============================================== WEBSITE: https://tij.tv FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/TheIncredibl...

On 26 September 1943, a group of six men paddled their folding canoes quietly into the Singapore harbour. All around them, the harbour bustled with activity, but they silently slipped undetected between the massive ships berthed along the docks. They were agents of Special Unit Z deployed by the Allied forces to sabotage shipping inside the Singapore harbour, which was occupied by Japanese forces. The men attached limpet mines to the hulls of seven ships and then paddled back to their forward base just 19 km/12 miles away. When the mines detonated, they sank or damaged 39,000 tonnes of shipping, leaving the Japanese completely stunned. Join us as we take a closer look at the amazing story of Operation Jaywick.
