1 Corinthians 11:23-24
"For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
Paul could have described that night in any other way.
On the night He was crucified...
On the night He bore the sin of the world...
On the night the Son of God died...
But when speaking to a church divided, to a people unwilling to divorce a pagan world, to brothers acting like enemies, Paul chose these words: "On the night in which He was betrayed."
As the betrayer sat among them, Christ still offered Himself broken for traitors.
For me. Who has been declared a saint, but often still lives in rebellion. While I still raged in my treachery, He loved with brokenness and blood poured out. He chose to die, to crown a rebel the daughter of the King.
