Day 29 Advent Reading -- Luke 22: 1-38

We now move back to the "rest of the story."  Sort of a strange feel to go from the Passover when Jesus is a twelve yr. old (yesterday's text)  to his return to Jerusalem as am adult to celebrate the Last Supper with his disciples (22:1-2).

We are told that Satan "entered" Judas (22:3-6).  Does it make Judas a sympathetic character when it is presented that way?  Someone had to betray Christ, and Satan chose Judas.

 Jesus shares the Last Supper, and the disciples immediately begin to wonder who is the greatest among them (22:4-7).  It does not appear that they have any understanding of what Jesus has just done.

What do you make of the shift in Jesus' instructions to the disciples (22: 35-38)?
