Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday is a holy day that many churches fail to recognize. It focuses on the washing of the disciples feet by Jesus, the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal by Judas. I choose today to focus on the washing of the disciples feet.
The humility that Jesus showed by lowering himself to the place of a servant is absolutely magnificent. Here we have "God in the Flesh" washing the dirty feet of his followers. Oh how we need more servant leaders in our midst today! People anger at their politicians, bosses, and pastors because it appears the leader cares to be served more than to serve. Let us all learn to serve in humility! If the Creator of the Universe can do it, then so can we!
