About this episode
Fr. Alan explores the themes of love and betrayal during Maundy Thursday in this sermon.
On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus picked up a basin and poured water.In this Maundy Thursday sermon from St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Keller, Texas, Fr. Alan explores the soundscape of the upper room: the water poured out, Peter's protest, the silence of sleeping disciples, and the kiss of a friend who had already decided to betray him.All of it. And still the water kept pouring.This is not a lesson in servant leadership. It is the sound of a love that does not wait for you to deserve it, does not pause when you resist it, and does not stop when you betray it.St. Martin's Episcopal Church | Keller, TexasScripture: John 13:1–17, 31b–35
