Pilgrim Priest

We Love Because He First Loved Us | #1619


Listen Later

Holy Thursday • The Paschal Lamb was a sacrifice and a sacred meal. It's blood saved the Israelites from the Angel of Death. It died for them, so that they could live. Then the people then consumed the sacrifice with bitter herbs and unleavened bread. We give people we love mementos of our love. Jesus reminds us of his love by giving us his very self.

Before you consume this meal, ask yourself: "Am I willing to give in the same measure?" We must love others as we have been loved. We wash feet, and then we invite those whose feet were washed to wash the feet of their loved ones. We love because he first loved us.

(2 Apr 2026)

Going Deeper: Have a family Last Supper moment by the husband washing his wife's feet, then the parents can wash their children's feet.
