About this episode
We come this morning to one of the high peaks of Scripture. And like any high peak, the air is thin, the view is staggering, and it is perilous for the unprepared. Jesus has just washed the disciples' feet, a profound act of royal humility. He has dismissed Judas into the night, the first note of the coming storm. He has predicted Peter's boastful denial, a prophecy that would shatter the lead disciple's self-confidence. Their world, which for three years had been anchored to the physical presence of Jesus, is about to be violently upended. And in this, they are a perfect picture of modern man. We are spiritually homeless, adrift in a cosmos that we are told is meaningless, a random collection of atoms. We look for a way in politics, in therapy, in self-help, in Eastern mysticism, in a thousand different ideologies.
