TITLE SLIDE
So, I may not have heard the words Maundy much—but I did
know—and celebrate lots of the parts of it—the last supper—the
washing of feet. So, tonight, I thought we’d take a couple minutes
to do a deeper dive into exactly what Maundy Thursday is—what
it isn’t and take a moment to understand the lesson of what we
can learn from this very holy day.
Over the course of the last year, we have heard the word
“mandate” over and over again…..Government Mandates…mask
mandate, social distancing and more.
Our human and sinful instinct when we hear the word mandate—
in many cases—is to bristle and fight back. I mean, it takes away
our rights…takes our control away and commands us to things.
-John 13:34
-He also repeats this in John 15:12 when he says New Living
Translation
This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I
have loved you.
So not only does Jesus tell us here what we should do from this
point forward. He also shows us.
It is so easy for us to say—oh—yeah—I love my neighbor—I love
those around me---but Jesus gives us a completely different
example. Jesus shows us how to love like him…. this is the
commandment of easter. Not simply to say “I love my neighbor) I
love you----but Christ says that is not enough—we must love like
him….and what does that mean? He shows it.

Let’s eat the Passover—and from now on every time you do---
remember this. By the time Passover comes again—I will be
gone. I will have died, risen, ministered and returned to heaven…
so the next time we are together will be after I come again.
