Today is Maundy Thursday – a day when we remember Jesus’ commandment to the disciples at that Last Supper – that they love one another just as he loved them. May this gorgeous spring day find you contemplating this gift of love. To that end, here’s a wonderful Frederick Buechner quote:
“Romantic love is blind to everything except what is lovable and lovely, but Christ's love sees us with terrible clarity and sees us whole. Christ's love so wishes our joy that it is ruthless against everything in us that diminishes our joy. The worst sentence Love can pass is that we behold the suffering that Love has endured for our sake, and that is also our acquittal. The justice and mercy of the judge are ultimately one."
