What is Maundy Thursday / Holy Thursday? Why did Jesus wash the feet of His disciples? What happened on the Thursday of Passion Week / Holy Week?
Maundy Thursday. What could Saint Peter and Friedrich Nietzsche possibly have in common? In this powerful and thought-provoking Maundy Thursday sermon, The Rev. John Kennedy explores the deep scandal and radical love at the heart of Jesus' shocking act of foot washing—and why it offended both Peter and Nietzsche in their own ways. With insight, wit, and piercing clarity, this message invites us to grapple with the meaning of humility, power, and the way of Christ in a world driven by dominance.
A Maundy Thursday sermon on Hebrews 7:23-28.

By eating His body and drinking His blood, we proclaim to all the world that Jesus is, indeed, our Passover Lamb (Ex. 12:1–14), who was sacrificed for us on Calvary. In Christ, the Lord remembers us in mercy and remembers our sin no more; He forgives us all our iniquity. With such love, he “loved His own who were in the world,” and even loves us “to the end” (John 13:1). As He washes us and feeds us in love, let us love one another, just as He has loved us (John 13:34). Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

One of Perry’s mentors say that the primary way we’re changed from inside out on our journey of faith is through daily repentance. Perry’s been wrestling with that in light of other scriptures that say otherwise and he bounces it off Jeremy. Bible questions answered by Jeremy in today’s episode! Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught at a West Michigan seminary for 15 years. Hank asks, “God commands us to rest on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is literally Saturday. Am I disobeying God by resting on Sunday??” Dave asks, “Is baptism required for salvation?” Stephanie asks, “The Apostle’s Creed says ‘Jesus descended into hell.’ Did he really go to hell or was it the horror of the cross, of his separation from God that was considered hell?” Jim asks, “Jesus always made glorifying His Father the priority. At His death He says ‘Now glorify the Son.’ So, should we now be praying the Lord’s Prayer by saying, ‘Hallowed be your Names,’ since Jesus is now glorified with the Father?” And Scotts asks, “At our Maundy Thursday sermon this year, the pastor said ‘Jesus and his disciples likely did not eat lamb at His last supper, but just the bread and wine and bitter herbs.’ I’ve never heard that before. What are your thoughts Dr. J?”Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this Maundy Thursday service, we look to the cross and Jesus' sacrifice.
In this sermon on Maundy Thursday, Pastor Jonathon reminds us of Jesus' commitment to love and to serve. Jesus did not come to be put on a pedestal but is instead seen in every loving act of human kindness. Therefore he commands us to love and serve one another.
Jesus didn't just give us a model of service. He stooped to wash the feet of sinners—feet that would flee in fear, feet that would deny him by a charcoal fire, feet that would falter and doubt.He washed them all.And he washes us still.

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
Today is Maundy Thursday—the night before Jesus went to the cross. This Lent Meditation will guide you to reflect on Jesus’s unconditional love. On this night, Jesus knelt to wash His disciples’ feet, shared the Passover meal, and redefined the meaning of the bread and cup. Then, He walked with His disciples to the Mount of Olives, where He spoke words they didn’t fully understand—words about their coming failure and His unwavering love. In today’s meditation, we’ll step into this moment through Peter’s eyes, listening as Jesus tells him that he will deny Him. But even in this painful prediction, there is hope—because Jesus’s love was never dependent on Peter’s strength. And His love for us is the same—unconditional, unwavering, and faithful. As you slow down and enter this sacred moment, may you remember: Everything Jesus does is because of His extravagant love for you. Listen now to enter into the story of Maundy Thursday.

The Entire meditation text is: Matthew 26:30-35, NIV 30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” 33 Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.” 34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” 35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Clinton Manley | Scripture tells a story of two gardens. On this Holy Thursday, what fruit might we glean by comparing Eden and Gethsemane?
Absalom's plot against his father's throne takes shape right under David's nose until Absalom's followers grow strong enough to declare him king at Hebron. David quickly recognizes the great danger and gathers a group of faithful followers to go with him from Jerusalem, even while he directs certain supporters of his to remain and thwart Absalom's work in the capital city. David's weeping and flight from Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives looks forward to our Lord Jesus' tears and passion on Maundy Thursday. Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 15:1-37. "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Show Notes:This episode comes out on Maundy Thursday, the day when Jesus celebrated his last Passover meal with his disciples and washed their feet in an act of humble service. Tomorrow is Good Friday, where Christians around the world relive Jesus' crucifixion and death and wait for the Good News of Easter Sunday--the day of resurrection and the restoration of hope.Why does this matter? Because in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are not only forgiven, but we are given a new way into offering forgiveness to those who have harmed us. Forgiveness is a complex process, often involving grief and mourning, and should not mean we forget or erase past harms. Today's guest gives us thoughtful insight into how we experience forgiveness--how we offer it to others and ask for it for ourselves.

Welcome to Day 5 of Passion Week on Behind the Mike! Today, we walk through the powerful and emotional events of Thursday—a day filled with love, betrayal, and surrender.This was the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed His disciples' feet, predicted His betrayal, and instituted the Lord's Supper. It was also the night of His agonizing prayer in Gethsemane, where Jesus showed ultimate surrender to the Father's will.If you've ever wrestled with God's plan or felt the sting of betrayal, this message is for you.
This is a re-release of Episode 40 of Season 3, which is a Maundy Thursday meditation on Matthew 26:26-29 and John 13:34-35 where Jesus issues a "new command" during the last supper to love one another in the same way He has loved them.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Stepping into the sacred space of Maundy Thursday, we explore the profound moments that transformed human history—the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood during the Last Supper. As Jesus took bread and wine, declaring "This is my Body" and "This is my Blood," He established a perpetual miracle of love that continues on altars worldwide.The liturgy of Holy Thursday beautifully balances joy and sorrow. We begin with celebration—white vestments, flowers adorning the altar, the Gloria sung with organ accompaniment, and bells ringing joyfully. Yet this happiness gives way as the Blessed Sacrament is moved to the altar of repose, the church emptied, and the altar stripped—powerful symbols foreshadowing Christ's passion. The faithful are invited to keep vigil in prayer until midnight, when even this access is withdrawn as Jesus enters His imprisonment.This episode takes an unexpected personal turn as I share the story of Father Raymond Zweber, the priest who rushed to baptize me as a premature infant in an incubator on Thanksgiving Day. His quiet faith, demonstrated through tears during Stations of the Cross and years of faithful service, shaped my Catholic identity in profound ways. On this day dedicated to the priesthood, I invite you to remember and pray for the priests who've administered sacraments in your life—baptism, confession, communion. Their hands have literally brought Christ to you. Whether you're able to attend Mass today or simply make a spiritual communion, let's honor these sacred institutions that continue to nourish our faith journey through the centuries.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

"New Commandment" Thursday 2025April 17, 2025Jeremiah 20:7-131 Corinthians 10:14-17; 11:27-32John 17:1-26
Seven days that changed the world. From a triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to a hill called Golgatha, to an empty tomb. It all happened in seven days. The sacrifice of Christ cannot be overstated. God became man and took on the sin of the whole world, so that YOU would not have to carry the burden of sin. For six hours he hung on the cross to take away the sins of the entire world...for YOU. His death is our hope in eternal life with him. his resurrection is proof that our souls live forever. We can choose to live forever in the presence of God, or forever separated from God. Join Jon and me as we celebrate Holy week.
