Luke 21: 1-38

Today is Maunday Thursday. Tonight we begin the Holy Triduum, the final three days of the season of Lent. It is a time for us to deeply consider all that Jesus Christ went through for us. We join with the disciples around the table as Jesus serves them in ways unimaginable, teaches and announces the new covenant. We discover that Jesus withholds nothing from them or from us. He is fully divine and has all authority yet stoops to wash the disciples feet. Friends this is the one we worship. He is the one who deserves our praise and the fullest measure of our gifts.

May we give in the same way that this poor widow gave. May we, like this woman, give out of our poverty. Friends Jesus gave us all he had to give, he held nothing back. This Holy Triduum let us consider how we can give of ourselves in ways that honor him.

God’s Peace,
Pastor Brad
