Hello Soldiers, Friends, and Family,
Today we remember Maundy Thursday (or Holy Thursday). We recall Jesus last supper with His disciples, His amazing example of love and servanthood as He Himself washed the disciple's feet (and yes even Judas). We then recall His prayer in the garden as He prayed "not my will by Thine be done", while those closest too Him couldn't stay awake an hour to support Him in prayer.
Luke 6:40 Jesus says... A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Let's follow Jesus' example today as we reflect on His example.
He spent time with those closest to Him telling them to remember His supreme sacrifice (that we know is in the cross and His resurrection) every time they broke bread together.
He modeled true servanthood and commanded us to do the same while washing the feet of His disciples.
He prayed for each of us, and chose to do His Father's will over His human desire to avoid the hardship that was ahead.
Salvationists, soldiers, and followers of Jesus, reflect on this Holy Thursday and recommit yourself to selfless service, prayer, whole-hearted obedience, and proclaiming the good news of Jesus.
Live holy, preach Jesus!
