Daily Gratitude-Year 7 Day 107: Today, I am grateful for Maundy Thursday.
Maundy Thursday is a day of remembering Jesus choices. In his last day ... before he would be taken, tried and crucified ... he chose, again and again, to act with love.
Jesus every action was seeking God’s will and searching for ways to show the depth of his love for people. His sincerity poured out as he washed feet, planned for the Passover meal, prayed for wisdom and guidance, and in his healing of the injured soldier.
The weight of it all must have been soul crushing. Still, not only was he obedient to God’s will, he showed extravagant love over and over.
He left us an example and a legacy of love. We can break out of the darkness of sin that cocoons us. We can be transformed. We can spread our wings and fly. We can spread our arms and choose extravagant love.
Today, I am grateful for Maundy Thursday.
