Today is Holy Thursday…
And love looked like a table

Not a throne
Not a crowd shouting His name
Just a room
a meal
and the people closest to Him

Even the one who would betray Him

Jesus knew

He knew the denial was coming
the betrayal was already in motion
the cross was only hours away

And still

He sat down with them

He broke the bread
He poured the wine

“This is My body”
“This is My blood”

Not symbols of comfort
but of what He was about to give

Everything

And then

He got lower

The King of heaven
wrapped in a towel

kneeling

washing feet that would run
serving hearts that would scatter

Even Judas

Even Peter

Even the ones who wouldn’t stay

Because that’s who Jesus is

He doesn’t love based on what you’ll do
He loves because of who He is

And I wonder

Would I have understood it

Or would I have sat at that table
thinking it was just another meal

Not realizing
I was watching love rewrite everything

Because this wasn’t just dinner

This was surrender

This was the moment
He showed us what love really looks like

Not loud
Not self-seeking
Not holding back

But kneeling
serving
giving

And today

on this Holy Thursday

I feel Him asking

Will you love like this

Will you serve when it’s hard
stay when it costs
give when it’s not returned

Because the same hands
that broke the bread

are the same hands
that would be broken for you

So don’t rush past this moment

Sit at the table

Let it sink in

This is what love looks like

And it’s about to change everything
