He Loved Them to the End

Summary

There is a lot going this night. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper. We receive bread and juice to remind us that our sins are forgiven. We prepare for Good Friday worship, commemorating the day Jesus’ love for us took him to the cross. We feel the grief of Jesus’ death and sense the shadow of death for the three days leading up to the joy of Easter morning and the celebration of new life in Christ. It is easy to get distracted from what is at the heart of it all: LOVE. God’s love for us, embodied by Jesus. God’s love for the world, embodied by us.
