this new thing

Christ sharing more with the disciples
an essential lesson, humility,
this new thing, sacrifice
giving his life for you and me

Something profound, important
on the night before he would die
saving this for them
a new way to live

Donning the servant’s towel
humbly washing their feet
offering the bread and wine to them
a new commandment of love
