"All that you say I will do."
This is the response that our hearts cry to Jesus. We believe that God created us, and we believe that God designed us to live in community, and so we know that obeying God is the best way to live in community with one another, honoring God in all we do.
And yet, we sin, right? Over and over again. We trip over our own efforts and we we trip because we're not paying attention to one another and we trip because we're trying to walk through a room in the middle of the night and we bang our shins into the coffee table. We are imperfect, and we sin.
On this Maundy Thursday, I pray you'll take a moment and realize the miracle of a Jesus who sat down at the table with a group of disciples who said they would do everything Jesus commanded, and yet by the end of the night, they would have all abandoned him and one would have betrayed them. And yet he comes to them, and dies for them, just as he comes to you, and saves you by dying for you.
And so our hearts cry out that we will do as Christ says, for such love we have seen, such love we have witnessed, and such love we daily experience in the depths of our hearts, that we long to follow Christ, our redeemer.
