Maundy Thursday (Contemporary)
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gathers with His disciples for the Passover meal—and does something unexpected.
He gives them bread and wine, declaring, “This is my body… this is my blood.”
And then He rises from the table, takes a towel, and washes their feet.
In these two acts, Maundy Thursday reveals the heart of the Christian life:
union with Christ and friendship with Him.
This sermon reflects on the intimacy of the Eucharist, where Christ gives Himself fully to His people, and the humility of foot washing, where the Lord of all becomes a servant. Together, they invite us into a relationship that is not distant or abstract—but deeply personal.
Jesus does not only call us servants.
He calls us friends.
As we enter the Triduum, we are invited to receive that friendship—to stop pretending, to be known fully, and to walk closely with Christ through these holy days.
📖 Scripture: [Insert Gospel reading – likely John 13:1–17 or Last Supper texts]
