This day

This day in history, Jesus was at the eve of His death.

How did He go on, knowing what awaited Him?

For the joy that was set before Him,

He endured the cross,

despising its shame.

[Hebrews 12:2]

Father, how small is my plight in comparison to Jesus'!

Help me lay my life down,

for the joy set before me,

for the joy of unhindered communion with You.

Let's dine together.

Happy Maundy Thursday, readers!

It's the day of the last supper,

and the love commandment:

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; 

even as I have loved you, you also ought to love one another. 

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, 

if you have love for one another.

[John 13:34-35]
