Maundy Thursday, April 6, 2023 (7:40 a.m.)
Again! Never ceased to be amazed by You Blessed God.
Wanting to know more about the word Maundy, I learn of its Latin roots. Meaning commandment. As in, Jesus’ words to the disciples at the Last Supper, “…a new commandment I give to you” (John 13:34).
Talk about being truly agog at this very moment! Father I am SO very excited and eager to tell!
This, from The Life Recovery Bible comment. “13:34-35 Our ability to love others (and ourself) is based on the degree to which we have received God’s love (most often through other people). When we try to love others without God’s love, we try to give what we don’t have; we end up giving to others in hopes of receiving something in return. This kind of selfish gift never feels good to us or to the person we are trying to help. When we love one another out of the overflow of God’s love, our witness and service can be effective toward recovery.”
Whose love changes everything? YOURS does!
Thank You Father. Praise You Lord. Amen.
