SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Worship
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWatch\n\n\n\nPrayers\n\n\n\nConnect ( https://www.mlckaty.com/connecting/ )\n\n\n\nGive\n\n\n\nEzra Project\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe term “Maundy” comes from the Latin word “mandatum” (from which we get our English word “mandate”), a verb that means “to give”, “to entrust”, or “to order”.  The term is usually translated as “commandment”, coming from John 13:34-35 which records Jesus’ new commandment to love one another, given this night.   As we celebrate together this evening, Jesus calls on us to hear and remember His Word as we live out this command in our communion and participation in our Savior’s body and blood, given and shed for the forgiveness of sins and the blessing of life together with Him and all His disciples in His kingdom.\n\n\n\nThe Covenant Established\n\n\n\nExodus 24:1-11\n\n\n\nThen he said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. Moses alone shall come near to the Lord, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.”\n\n\n\nMoses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the rules. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.” And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”\n\n\n\nThen Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank. (ESV)\n\n\n\nThe Covenant Fulfilled\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 10:14-21\n\n\n\nTherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. (ESV)\n\n\n\nThe Holy Gospel\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-23\n\n\n\nAnd when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this. (ESV)\n\n\n\nPsalmody\n\n\n\nPsalm 22:1-24\n\n\n\nTo the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.\n\n\n\nMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,    and by night, but I find no rest.\n\n\n\nYet you are holy,    enthroned on the praises of Israel.In you our fathers trusted;    they trusted, and you delivered them.To you they cried and were rescued;    in you they trusted and were not put to shame.\n\n\n\nBut I am a worm and not a man,    scorned by mankind and despised by the people.All who see me mock me;    they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;“He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;    let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”\n\n\n\nYet you are he who took me from the womb;    you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.On you was I cast from my birth,    and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.Be not far from me,    for trouble is near,    and there is none to help.\n\n\n\nMany bulls encompass me;    strong bulls of Bashan surround me;they open wide their mouths at me,    like a ravening and roaring lion.\n\n\n\nI am poured out like water,    and all my bones are out of joint;my heart is like wax;    it is melted within my breast;my strength is dried up like a potsherd,    and my tongue sticks to my jaws;    you lay me in the dust of death.\n\n\n\nFor dogs encompass me;    a company of evildoers encircles me;they have pierced my hands and feet—I can count all my bones—they stare and gloat over me;they divide my garments among them,    and for my clothing they cast lots.\n\n\n\nBut you, O Lord, do not be far off!    O you my help, come quickly to my aid!Deliver my soul from the sword,    my precious life from the power of the dog!    Save me from the mouth of the lion!You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!\n\n\n\nI will tell of your name to my brothers;    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:You who fear the Lord, praise him!    All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!For he has not despised or abhorred    the affliction of the afflicted,and he has not hidden his face from him,    but has heard, when he cried to him. (ESV)\n
