Lenten Love #36


“Being a servant means giving up the right to control your schedule and allowing God to interrupt it 
whenever God needs to.”

Someone recently showed me this quote from a devotion book he was reading.  I thought it was fitting for today.  Today is Maundy Thursday.  We get the word ‘Maundy’ from the old Latin word meaning ‘mandate’ which was a reference to Christ’s command found in John 13:34, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (NRSV).

So, as we remember Christ’s mandate made long ago, may we ponder the ways that mandate impacts the way we live our lives today.

Happy Holy Thursday!
Peace,
B
