Send us a text" In this last night with his disciples before his big showdown with the Empire Jesus does not tease them, or intimidate them, or reassure them with a show of strength, or sign of power. Instead God incarnate puts a towel around his waist and serves them. And when he done scandalizing his friends with this act, he commands them to do the same, to love one another."text: John 13:1-17, 31b-35Preached at Church of the Heavenly Rest, Manhattan, New York on Maundy Thursday
