"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34, NIV)
Today is a day we call Maundy Thursday, the day Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples. We call that Passover meal the Last Supper and remember it through our celebration of communion. It is also the day Jesus set a humble example of love for us to follow by washing his disciples’ feet. We remember Jesus' example as we serve others today.
As we think about these acts of Jesus, we know that we are drawing closer and closer to remembering the most important day in the history of mankind--the Resurrection. Jesus' humility and love made the Resurrection possible. Humility and love. What good words!
