Reason 5: To Set An Example

Reader: Marios Kyriakou Preacher: Jonathan Smith Tonight, Maundy Thursday Pastor Jonathan teaches that one of the reasons why Jesus came to die was to set an example for us. The latin word Maundy means "command" and it is from this latin term that we get our word "mandate". So on this night, Jesus mandated his disciples, which includes us, to live our lives like he did by loving others and loving sacrificially. Christ's once-for-all death frees us to imitate living sacrificially for the sake of others. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
