Like
Peter and the rest of the twelve, less the one who betrayed our dear Lord Jesus
Christ, "you are clean." This is what Jesus had done to them and what
He is giving them that [they] also should do just as [He has] done to
[them]." Here in our Gospel text, Jesus is preparing his disciples to go
and make people clean, that is, to wash away their sins.
Not only
has He given them an example, He has given them a command to do so. He sends
them out with authority--the authority of His Word and the power of the Holy
Spirit to do what He has commanded them to do according to the example He has
lived among them. To hear and/or read the entire sermon preached for Maundy
