Sermon for Maundy Thursday

Many of you have probably been involved at sometime in your life in the distribution of an inheritance. Someone close to you had left their last will and testament and it decreed that something they treasured would be given to you. Maybe this was as a child, and you just received something from a grandparent, or as an adult maybe you had to be involved in all the legal proceedings. Possibly the inheritance was contentious, especially if a lot of money was involved that everyone wanted, or a lot of stuff that no one wanted. Maybe like me, you got a memento – I remember when my grandfather died I asked to have his ham radio microphone, because his involvement in ham radio was a central memory of who he was to me.
