Today is Maundy Thursday, and we are on the home stretch to Easter Sunday, but there is still much work to be done. We still need to get through the Last Supper and the foot-washing ceremony. So, let’s do it!

The Last Supper Jesus had with his disciples must have been a sobering event. But what must have been more humbling, was to see Jesus washing their feet. One of his disciples, Peter, said to him ‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet? You will never wash my feet.’ But Jesus said to him, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.’ My brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus is saying the same thing to us. Too many of us bathe but are still not clean, soap is not the answer to the washing that Jesus commands. We need to come to Jesus and receive the cleansing power that only he possesses, we need to bare our souls before him and come clean, confess our sins, receive the free gift of salvation, and be made whole. Today, Maundy Thursday could be a new beginning for us. A day when we not only wash our feet clean, but our hearts also.
