Maundy Thursday

Dont know what this may mean to you... It didnt mean to me anything before, coz also i didnt heard that word before, or forgotten it.

Maundy Thursday is the day before Good Friday, eve of Good Friday, where we celebrate and remember the Lord's Supper, also know as the Last Supper. Where the Lord Jesus broke bread and said, "this is my body..." and the wine, "this is my blood..." .

It was a memorable day for me, this year's Maundy Thursday... 2 things...
1. My Church decided to hold the celebration Maundy Thursday.
2. It so happened that my school (mission school) also held its 1st (if i am not wrong) Maundy Thursday for all Believers of the school who wanted to join in.

My 1st Maundy Thursday, and a memorable one too, celebrated twice in a go. It also so happened that me & my sis decided to full day fast (whole day no food) to pray for the Easter concert, 'A Doctor's Journal', and that we would both break fast together during our church's Maundy Service when we take communion. Thus, in school, though I went for the service, i didn't participate in the communion itself.

But it was really very interesting. We started the day by having a great good Friday chapel service hosted by 'Singapore Youth For Christ'. Then, instead of having our recess, >300 staffs and pupils, believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, gathered for the Maundy Thursday service. It was a good time, and I really felt the touch of God. I hesitated in going, but all praise to God that i went due to the encouragements of my friends.

Maundy Thursday @ TCC:
Many people came... and Pas. G. preached well... as in the spirit of God really flowed through you... not because he is a good speaker or something, but it is the Holy Spirit that dwelt in the place and filled our hearts. Personally, I am a note-copier. I just sort of 'love' writing down notes, esp during services, as I remember the sermons better and it prevents me from getting easily distracted or bored. But I was so overwhelmed by the Spirit, that i did little writing, just keying down the few main points... but mostly taking it in my spirit. It was refreshing for my spirit.

Maundy Thursday now, is a significant event to me, and I shall remember how my 1st Maundy Thursday was first celebrated. Praise the Lord for His Body and Blood. Communion isn't one that should be taken lightly, but with all reverence and respect to the Lord. Remember passionately what the Almighty God had did, humbling, submitting, and dying all for us, and no one else.

Praise the Lord for His One Precious Son, Jesus Christ the Messiah!!! Hallelujah!
