Maundy Thursday

"Maundy" is Old English taken from French taken from Latin"Mandatum novum". In Latin it is the first word in the phrase " A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." John 13:34


I suppose I could preach a great sermon about love here, but let me encourage you to do your own sermon. Go to http://www.crosswalk.com/ or http://www.biblegateway.com/ or another Bible study site and do a search for "love". Narrow your search down to John or John's epistles or you'll have too long of a list. Then read those verses that show up in the search and then the Holy Spirit will tell you what you need to hear.


Maundy Thursday is a time to remember Christ's servant love as he washed the disciples' feet, the Last Supper, Judas' betrayal and the arrest and trials. Tune in tomorrow to read about Good Friday.

You can find all kinds of information about Maundy Thursday on Wikipedia if you would like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maundy_Thursday
