MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

Students may read Paper 178:2.5-9 or entire section
During Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, Judas began looking for a time and place to betray him. Meanwhile, Jesus made plans for a special meal with his disciples on Thursday evening. He gave the disciples some secretive directions for finding the location of the house where the supper would be held. He said a man carrying a pitcher of water would lead them to a house with an upper room. In this room, many important things happened, and it was their last meal together.
Why did Jesus give secretive directions to the upper room? It is wise to be careful, especially at certain times. We can take precautions and also rely on faith. Tell something you know about the Last Supper in the upper room.
A wise man should be cautious,
Fervent, prudent, reflecting with wisdom. (Buddhism)
The wise man lives in the world;
but he lives cautiously, dealing with the world cautiously.
He universalizes his heart;
the people give him their eyes and ears. (Taoism)
