The Greatest Thanksgiving Meal (4 of 6)
Series: Thanksgiving Table Talks
Donald Cantrell
Luke 22: 14 – 21
I – Our Lord’s Sacred Table (Lk. 22: 14 – 21)
II – Our Lord’s Supreme Thanks (Luke 22: 14 – 21, Jn. 13)
III – Our Lord’s Specific Teaching (1 Cor. 11: 24 – 26)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points and it is very comprehensive as to the events that happened in the upper room that night, especially in dealing with the symbolism of the Lord’s Supper. You will never look at the Lord’s Supper the same, after this sermon.
Theme: “The Lord’s Supper was the first real ‘Thanksgiving Meal’”
Some Extravagant Last Meals
If you had a death sentence, what would your last meal be? Most countries that sanction capital punishment for prisoners allow for said prisoners to request a final meal before their death, referred to by some prison officers as a "special meal." It’s a tradition that has superstitious roots, dating back to the medieval era.
In Medieval Europe, it was believed that if the prisoners were fed well, they wouldn’t return back as ghosts to haunt their killers. If the food and drink were of great quality, then it would be less likely for the prisoner to come back from beyond the grave. But if the food and drink were of poor quality, then it would be more likely that the prisoner would come back to torment his executioners.
Here in America, there are lists of approved foods that death row prisoners can choose from for their final meals, and the lists vary from state to state. A prisoner’s last meal can be as indulgent as they want, or it can be as simple as they want. Or, it can be as weird and bizarre as they want.
Some of the meals that death row prisoners request are just downright strange. But there are plenty of unhinged criminals that end up on death row so it probably makes sense. Here are 15 of the weirdest last meal requests by death row criminals.
