Mark 14:15 KJV
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
Probably more could be made of this than is proper. I think it was common in that culture to have a guest room and to keep it prepared in case of guests. A traveler would use a room like that just like we might use a motel.
However, the Word of God does emphasize that this house had a guest room large enough to meet the needs of the Lord and His disciples and that it was both furnished with the necessary pieces and prepared. It was ready for when they called. The upper room was not only used for the Passover, but became the meeting house for the next several weeks, if not longer. It was where the disciples were on the day of Pentecost, when they received the promise of the filling of the Holy Ghost.
Who knows when and where the Lord may choose to show up and do wonderful things? Of the many houses in Jerusalem that would have had guest chambers this one was chosen and it was ready. I want the same to be true in my life in my home and in my church, that it is ready should the Lord choose to use it for His glory.
