Today is Holy Thursday, a day to remember Jesus and his disciples sharing a final Passover meal during which Jesus characteristically turned their normal experience into a new and life changing one. Jesus seemed to do this with many of their normal experiences. Fishing became more fish than their nets could hold. Illness became opportunities for sins to be forgiven and healing to be granted. Water became wine. A conversation became a challenge to the status quo. A walk became a life lesson. A dinner party became a completely new future for those attending. Death became life. Jesus is a person of loving surprises!
Gracious Jesus, thank you for the life you offer us as we remember your last supper this day. Thank you for the life you offer us every time we remember you in Holy Communion. Fill our lives with your loving surprises this day and every day. Amen.
