Q.1 What treasure would you like to find?
2. Last Supper
The night before Jesus was arrested, he had a meal with his disciples. He suffered knowing that his loved ones would betray him. His fate is likened to bread and wine. As he blesses the bread, he tells his disciples, "This is my flesh; take and eat it." And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you”. Although he knew his destiny, he gave thanks to God. He did not bless the cup, but took it and gave thanks to God. Even at the moment of hardship approaching, he gave thanks to God. As a result, a miracle happened and Jesus was resurrected.
Q.2 Have you ever been grateful even in difficult times?
3. Give Thanks
Jesus often performed many miracles in front of people. According to the Matthew 14:19-20, Jesus took two loaves and five fish and gave thanks to God. Instead of complaining or worrying about the little food in front of a crowd of over five thousand, he thanked God for this food. As a result, people ate enough without wanting. The miraculous power of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with two loaves and five fish came from the prayer of thanksgiving. This is also why cancer patients write a gratitude journal. There are many patients who give birth to cancer through a gratitude journal. Miracles still exist today. Miracles happen by giving thanks to God.
