Seminarian Daniel Bentley delivers a poignant sermon on Maundy Thursday, reflecting on the events in the upper room where Jesus shared his final meal with his disciples. The sermon highlights the institution of the Eucharist and the deep symbolism of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, a radical act of service and humility. Bentley emphasizes the brokenness of the world and individuals, and how Jesus meets us in that brokenness, using biblical accounts from John and Paul to illustrate these themes. Congregants are encouraged to embrace their imperfections, allowing Christ's broken body to make them whole and let grace shine through.
