Matthew 26: 31-46
Thanksgiving Dinner on the run. A woman called 1-800-323-4848 to find out how long it would take to roast her turkey. To answer the question, the Talk-Line home economist asked how much the bird weighed. The woman responded, "I don't know, it's still running around outside."

Judas has betrayed the Lord for thirty pieces of silver, and now he is with the enemy leading them to the location of Jesus. Jesus has taken His last Passover, and turned it into the Lor ...
