Maunday Thursday

Today is Maunday Thursday. On this day in Italy and around the world four events are remembered: The washing of the Disciples feet, The Last Supper, the agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal of Judas.

“Maunday” would best be translated to mean… “Mandate.” It reminds believers that Jesus gave a mandate to the Apostles as he washed their feet which was… “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you” John 13:34

Take a moment today to reflect on these 4 events and the impact they have on us as Christians. Especially be mindful as these events unfold, Jesus was actually in the process of working to provide our salvation. And to think God's only commandment in return for our salvation is for us to love one another; as he loved us.

Thank God for what You've done!
