Maundy Thursday

Annie Hayes

On the night before his death, Jesus chooses to wash his disciples’ feet—an intimate, humble act that redefines power and belonging in God’s kingdom.

This “foolish” love becomes both a gift and a command: the disciples are to receive it and then embody it by loving others in the same way. As Jesus prepares to leave, he entrusts his mission to them, declaring through his actions that they are now his body in the world. The sermon calls listeners to step into this ongoing work of healing and service, living out Christ’s love in tangible ways.
