Serve
In service to others, I find my true self.
The word maundy loosely
translates to “commandment,” and Maundy Thursday is named for the
message Jesus gave his disciples in the upper room during the Last
Supper. In John 13:34, Jesus says, “I give you a new commandment, that
you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one
another.” Before he gave this commandment, he washed his disciples’
feet, saying in John 13:15, “For I have set you an example, that you
also should do as I have done to you.”
I take these words to heart, knowing, as Mahatma Gandhi shared, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” I follow Jesus’ example of service as well as his commandments; I serve others, finding the Christ presence in everyone as I do.
