At the center of Maundy Thursday is a mandate, or a command, to love one another as Christ has loved us. “Stand Up” by Cynthia Erivo may seem unusual for Maundy Thursday, but at its core, it is a call to live into this new reality and to embody hope, care, and love with one another. Difficult days lie ahead, but God’s steadfast love frees us to move forward toward life together in Christ. As you listen to this powerful song, consider: “How does the command to love one another as Christ has loved us set you free?”
