Jezus zelf wast de voeten van zijn discipelen en nodigt ons uit om nederig onze medemensen te dienen:
“Toen ik, uw Heer en uw meester, heb je voeten gewassen, jullie moeten ook elkaars voeten wassen. Ik heb een voorbeeld gegeven; wat ik voor je heb gedaan, moet je ook doen” (John 13, 14-15).
Wij voelen hetzelfde als de apostelen
who could sit as friends at the table with Jesus for the last time.
We want to come together because it was Jesus’ last will.
Because Jesus asked
as a mother on her deathbed asks her children:
“Promise me you’ll keep coming together,
even when I’m gone. “
Even though we can’t get together today
we feel a strong connection,
to reminisce and make plans for the future.
We bring glory to God
in connection with the whole world
When the bread was shared,
the disciples went with Jesus to the Gethsemane
Jesus went to pray
and he asked his friends to watch and pray.
They fell asleep up to three times
We want to make it quiet and dark
we want to watch and pray with Jesus tonight,
we want to watch and pray in the face of suffering
in our own world and in our own life,
in suffering in the big world.
We want to watch and pray
because we know that God listens to us
for his love is greater than we can imagine.
