Maundy Thursday

On Maundy Thursday we commemorate the Last Supper and Jesus washing the disciples feet. It was not the last time He would see them or the last time He would eat with them. It was last time before His resurrection would reset time. He washed 12 pairs of feet. Two sets of them would walk away and betray and deny Him. Nine of them would fearfully stride into the shadows instead of standing with Him. Only one of them would stand at the foot of the cross during His agony. He knew what they would do but He knelt to wash their feet anyway. Why? Because He was not expecting their reciprocation or vindication. It is humbling beyond imagination to know that eventually “every knee will bow” at the feet of the One who was first to bow before these disillusioned disciples.
