Holy Thursday

By Lee Davis • April 17, 2025
Holy Thursday invites us to remember the night Jesus knelt to wash feet, broke bread with friends, and gave a new commandment: to love one another as He has loved us. In the face of betrayal and suffering, Jesus chose radical, self-giving love—and calls us to do the same.

On Holy Monday, we remember Jesus overturning the tables in the temple—a bold act of love that calls out injustice and clears space for true worship. This moment challenges us to examine what needs to be overturned in our own hearts and communities so that all may draw near to God.

As we continue our exploration of music during the Lent season, we arrive at a pivotal moment: Palm/Passion Sunday.

It is a day that invites us to reflect deeply on the dual themes of celebration and sacrifice.

Palm Sunday reveals the tension between our expectations of Jesus and the surprising, often uncomfortable reality of who he truly is. As we wave our palms and shout "Hosanna," we’re invited to reflect on whether we’re ready to follow him—even when the journey leads to the cross.
