FORWARD DAY
BY DAY FOR TODAY

Maundy Thursday
Luke 24:4-5 While they were perplexed about this,
suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were
terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why
do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.”
Imagine being with a
beloved friend as the last breath is slowly exhaled. Soon the sheet is pulled
over the body. You step outside to collect yourself. When you reenter the room,
you are dismayed: The bed is empty and the covers rumpled. Out of the air step
two dazzling figures.
Why are you looking
for your friend here? Go seek the living among the living! Grief and exhaustion turn into terror.
Shaking, you are speechless.
This must be what it
is like for the women who have come to say goodbye to Jesus. They are ready to
take the final step with Jesus, preparing his body for permanent rest.
God bless these
precious friends for being willing to accompany Jesus to the very end. And God
bless Peter for racing to the tomb once he hears the news that Jesus is not dead.
They are all scared—they knew what to expect with death. They just don’t know
what to expect with Jesus—the love that continues beyond death, the love that
never ends.
MOVING FORWARD: Attend
your community’s Maundy Thursday service.
