Maundy Thursday


What is Maundy Thursday?  The word Maunday is the word used for the ceremonial observation of washing ones feet before a meal. Maundy Thursday is the observation of Christ washing the disciples feet at the last supper.

John 13:14-17

14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Christ was demonstrating to his disciples in a physical way what He tried to teach them over the past three years.

Luke 14:11
11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Matthew 20:28

28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Being a Christian, and the key word is "being" is a life committed to serving others. 

I hope you will consider inviting your family and friends to our Easter service this Saturday at 6:30 PM. You could be giving someone you love a chance to get involved in a relationship with Jesus. And that is a life changing experience, from now through eternity!

See you Saturday.  God has a plan of your life and for the ones you love!   Love, pastor Kent
