Thank God Its Thursday: Encountering Jesus at the Lord's Table

Thank God Its Thursday: Encountering Jesus at the Lord's Table As If for the Last Time

Thank God Itâ€™s Thursday is the prequel to bestselling author Will Willimonâ€™s highly successful, Thank God Itâ€™s Friday. Following the book of John, Will Willimon focuses on the Jesusâ€™ teaching of his disciples prior to his own death but also before their own hour of decision. The climax of the Gospel is when Jesus pours out his life on the crossâ€”surely an enactment and demonstration of the power of Godâ€™s self-sacrificial love.

So to sustain and fortify his followers for the difficulties ahead, Jesus prepares them by teaching and offering sacraments of self-giving,, through which they (and we) experience the grace and presence of the risen Lord. This book can equip Christians to face their hardships as they humbly serve with the promise of God's abiding presence already made good by his outpouring of sacrificial love. Written with the clarity, depth, and insight that are Will Willimon's trademark, this book offers afresh the challenge and grace of the message of the Resurrected One.
