Day 39

               Maundy Thursday. Oh Jesus, what a busy day You had before You suffered and died. You didn’t hole up on some mountain top. You celebrated the Last Supper with your disciples, demonstrating ultimate humility by serving them and washing their feet. You gave all of us instructions on how to remember and honor You through the cup and the bread. You prayed to Your Father and pleaded for His will to be done, knowing the cost. You endured the betrayal by one of Your own for the pittance of 30 silver coins. Help me to remember that though you were God, you also wore the mantle of man. All of these things you were part of Your humiliation, even before the mockery, the whip, the thorny crown and the cross. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
