Imitating the compassionate Christ

Millions of people have read with awe the signs and wonders performed by a Jewish man nearly 2,000 years ago who was sentenced to death for crimes he did not commit. That world did not show compassion to him. It hated him.

Still, this kind man loved orphans and widows, honored his parents, obeyed the law, stood up for the oppressed, enlightened minds, healed the sick and prayed constantly every day. For sure, he was no ordinary man. The accounts written about him have changed the lives of more people than any other person in history.

One of the things that touches me most about this man was the way he treated others — how humble, thoughtful and reasonable he was — especially in comparison to the pious religious leaders of his day.

When was the Last Supper?

A professor at the University of Cambridge claims Jesus Christ’s Last Supper took place on a Wednesday instead of Thursday and asserts his findings can finally introduce a fixed date for Easter.

Physicist Sir Colin J. Humphreys released his research using biblical, astronomical and historical research to try to pinpoint the timing of Jesus’ final meal with his disciples before his death.

Humphreys claim that while Matthew, Mark and Luke all say the Last Supper coincided with the start of the Jewish festival of Passover, the book by John suggests it took place before Passover.

He asserts in his book, “The Mystery of The Last Supper: Reconstructing the Final Days of Jesus,” that by placing the Last Supper on Wednesday instead of on Passover, Jesus’ arrest, interrogation and separate trials would have occurred over a longer period of time than in one night.

“It is impossible to fit them in between a Thursday evening and Friday morning,” he insisted.

His conclusion is that Jesus died on April 3, and a fixed date for Easter could be set every year on April 5 — a date being used this year. What do you think about this latest theory? Does it make sense that while Matthew, Mark and Luke agree that Jesus’ Last Supper was on Passover night, John would contradict them?

Just because the learned professor cannot fathom how certain events recorded in the gospel accounts took place between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon — should we assume three of the four gospel writers got it wrong?

Is science, history and scripture aligning together in a series of four blood moons to fulfil Bible prophecy? Will this mark the long awaited return of Christ and the end of the world?
