Today is Maundy Thursday... the term Maundy derives from the Latin word for "mandate"... which in John's gospel, after the meal and feetwashing, Jesus gives a NEW COMMANDMENT (or mandate) to his followers... "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." (13:34)
What an awesome mandate! One that WILL change the world when we live it daily! One that WILL change each life that we apply it to!
As we gather tonight to celebrate the LOVE FEAST, let us remember and commit ourselves to live this mandate from this day forth!
