MAUNDY THURSDAY
Reading: Mark 14:22-26
Focus: Mark 14:26
After singing a
hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Reflection:
What a beautiful finish to this story!
At the close of Jesus leading his disciples in the Last Supper, he sings a hymn
with them. How precious is our worship together to our Lord? We must never lose
the wonder of what it means to have multiple families of Christ followers gather
together, lift up the name of God in song, and demonstrate our unity through
serving our King in worship. This is a piece of the story that does not usually
get read out loud when we take Communion together, but it shows such an
intimacy and friendship among them that it is profound in its simplicity.
Prayer:
Lord, may we be one, as you and the
Father are one. May we hold fast to the privilege of corporate worship and grow
closer together as we draw near to you. May our praises be like incense as they
rise from our sanctuary, and may every household of faith be strengthened in
unity every time they gather in your name.
