[Friends] Maundy Thru and Dont forget the blog

[Rev. Christian D Boyd]

Take time today to think about Jesus, the Passover meal he celebrated with
his friends and disciples and the sacrament he instituted, and what it means
to live, love and serve in Christ.

 

Also, we have had some activity on the blog site, and new posts.

John 13:1-17, 31b-35 (NRSV)
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come
to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who
were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it
into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during
supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands,
and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table,
took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured
water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them
with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to
him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered, "You do not know
now what I am doing, but later you will understand." Peter said to him, "You
will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no
share with me." Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my
hands and my head!" Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to
wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though
not all of you." For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said,
"Not all of you are clean." After he had washed their feet, had put on his
robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I
have done to you? "You call me Teacher and Lord - and you are right, for
that is what I am. "So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another's feet. "For I have set you an example,
that you also should do as I have done to you. "Very truly, I tell you,
servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than
the one who sent them. "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do
them. "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in
him. "If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself
and will glorify him at once. "Little children, I am with you only a little
longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you,
'Where I am going, you cannot come.' "I give you a new commandment, that you
love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one
another. "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have
love for one another."
