Maundy Thursday in the Lutheran Tradition as I have learned it is about the Lord’s Supper. The entire service is built around remembering and celebrating the sacrament. This sermon to me is a meditation on that tradition as I have received it and attempted to steward it. It ponders the biblical reality of Judas at that table, with a contrast with Peter. After all, both betrayed Jesus. And it ends with simple proclamation. The tradition inherited is not complex. It leaves plenty of questions. Most unanswerable. But there is plenty for faith to grasp onto. Because this supper is for you. For Forgiveness. Even the worst of sinners find pardon here.
