Tyler Lynde: Good morning.
Tyler Lynde: I'm Tyler, I'm the lead pastor here at Trinity and I'm excited about sharing the Word of God with you this morning.
Tyler Lynde: Are you ready for that Just one day?
Tyler Lynde: I feel like I'm going to ask that and you're going to just say, in unison, no, and I'll just keep going because we're believing that God's going to make you ready right One way or another.
Tyler Lynde: So this year we started out talking about what we felt like the Lord spoke to us as an elder team which is together, growing deeper, so we can reach farther.
Tyler Lynde: And two weeks ago we talked about being together and the fact that, because of the sacrifice of Jesus, god has made us one with him and with each other, and so we belong together.
Tyler Lynde: Right Last week we talked about growing deeper and the fact that we are not supposed to just get saved and that's the end of our journey, but there's this process of sanctification, where God desires for our roots to grow deep, and the reason that we can do this is because Christ is in us and we are in Christ and that's good news.
Tyler Lynde: And this week we're going to look at our final value, which is serve and sticking with the growth motif.
Tyler Lynde: It's great to have roots that grow deep, but the purpose for that is to give us the strength and stability that we need so that we can have a canopy that stretches out far and wide, and on that canopy, coming from that canopy, is a lot of fruit.
Tyler Lynde: And how many of you know, the fruit that is produced by our lives is not intended to be consumed by ourselves.
Tyler Lynde: It's intended to be given and used by others, and so we believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God desires for us to be fruit producing Christians who live this life to honor him and to love him and to love each other, and that's what we're going to be talking about today.
Tyler Lynde: As we entitle this message Reaching Farther, let's look in our Bibles at Luke, chapter 22, luke 22, and we're going to be reading verses 24 through 27.
Tyler Lynde: A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
Tyler Lynde: I love this.
Tyler Lynde: And he said to them the kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them and those in authority over them are called benefactors, but not so with you.
Tyler Lynde: Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest and the leader, as the one who serves For who is the greater, one who reclines at the table or one who serves Is it not the one who reclines at the table?
Tyler Lynde: But I am among you as the one who serves.
Tyler Lynde: Let's pray together today, and we're also going to be praying for the families of those who've lost loved ones in the plane crashes that have happened this last week, and just asking for mercy for them.
Tyler Lynde: So let's pray together.
Tyler Lynde: Father, we thank you for this day that you have made and, father, we thank you for the ability that we have to come together to celebrate you, to praise and worship you with our heart, soul, mind and strength for us to love each other and for us to learn from you, lord, god.
Tyler Lynde: And so, lord, I ask that the words that you give me and speak through me would be filled with might that comes from your Holy Spirit.
Tyler Lynde: I pray, lord, god, that you would break down any walls that keep us from being engaged in serving you and serving each other.
Tyler Lynde: And, father, I also pray now for those, the family members and the friends of those who lost loved ones over this last week.
Tyler Lynde: Father, we pray for mercy and kindness and compassion.
Tyler Lynde: We pray, lord, god, that this tragedy would somehow be used for your glory, that you would reveal yourself in powerful ways in this nation, and I pray that this would be, like Kelly said, a time when people's hearts would begin to turn towards you and Lord, when we hear of things like this, that we would not consider even just our own lives, but we would consider, lord, god, eternity, that we would think about the importance of serving you.
Tyler Lynde: And so, lord, we ask you for that.
Tyler Lynde: We pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus.
Tyler Lynde: Amen.
Tyler Lynde: Growing up, I never considered myself a selfish person.
Tyler Lynde: In fact, as a pastor's kid I don't know if you know this or not, but when you're a pastor's kid and your dad is pastoring a small church, the kids get to do what?
Tyler Lynde: Everything A little bit of everything, I mean you name any kind of ministry within the church and within my life.
Tyler Lynde: Growing up, I was involved in some part, in some way, in doing that thing.
Tyler Lynde: So, again, I considered myself a pretty selfless person.
Tyler Lynde: In fact, not just not selfish, but selfless.
Tyler Lynde: And that all changed one day when we had our firstborn child.
Tyler Lynde: So Amy had been laboring for three days yes, three days and then, as she was waiting to be able to deliver this baby, her body stopped progressing and she ended up having to have an emergency c-section Now coming home after that, amy's mom came and helped out for a little while and I was so grateful for that, but then she left and went home and I discovered something about our firstborn child Not naming names, although he's out of the country right now so I could actually say his name.
Tyler Lynde: If you know me, you know it's Jordan.
Tyler Lynde: Okay, this isn't a bad story, it's just Jordan.
Tyler Lynde: He was a baby, right.
Tyler Lynde: I discovered something about Jordan.
Tyler Lynde: He could not do anything for himself.
Tyler Lynde: Well, there was a couple of things he could do for himself, but I'm not going to talk about that today.
Tyler Lynde: Everything else he couldn't do for himself.
Tyler Lynde: And Amy was bedridden, basically because she had been so exhausted by all that she had gone through.
Tyler Lynde: And so guess who got to help Jordan do everything that he needed to do this guy, and through that process, guess what I discovered?
Tyler Lynde: Tyler was a selfish man.
Tyler Lynde: Tyler was a very selfish man, and you know why I recognize that, because not only was I now taking care of every need, of well, most needs of this little baby, but also Amy wasn't able to take care of my needs, and up until that point in time, I could pretty much count on her to take care of my needs right.
Tyler Lynde: And so now I was actually having to help not only getting to help, getting to help, to use the right terminology my baby and my wife now as she's recovering.
Tyler Lynde: And in that moment I realized I desperately needed help.
Tyler Lynde: I desperately needed help.
Tyler Lynde: So we'll get back to that story in a little while, but think about this passage today.
Tyler Lynde: The disciples had just finished the last supper we just took communion in commemoration and just had finished the last supper with Jesus before he would be crucified, and they're having a dispute amongst themselves about who's going to be the greatest in the kingdom of God.
Tyler Lynde: You can't make it up.
Tyler Lynde: It's too good.
Tyler Lynde: They wanted to know who was on the top of the best disciple list.
Tyler Lynde: Did they make the cut Right?
Tyler Lynde: Can you imagine that, three and a half years after walking and talking with Jesus every day, eating meals with him, watching him love on people and minister to the needs of everyone, being so wise in the way that he taught and the way that he dealt with those who were in opposition to him, the authority that he had over demonic spirits, all of the things that he did and accomplished while they were with him, and still, these disciples were miles away from understanding what greatness was all about.
Tyler Lynde: True greatness, authentic spirituality, was what?
Tyler Lynde: Genuine servanthood.
Tyler Lynde: Genuine servanthood Right in the shadow of the cross.
Tyler Lynde: These men are grasping for position.
Tyler Lynde: Now it's easy for us to look back on that occasion and picture that story and put blame on them, and it's normal, natural.
Tyler Lynde: But how many of us think it would have been different if we had been one of the disciples?
Tyler Lynde: Would we have acted any differently?
Tyler Lynde: Would we have changed our tone?
Tyler Lynde: And not only that, would we have been, but are we any different now?
Tyler Lynde: Jesus begins, in his discussion with his disciples, to compare and contrast the difference between the kingdoms of this world and the kingdom of God as a way of illustrating the point that the disciples aren't viewing things from the proper perspective.
Tyler Lynde: One of the things that I want for each and every one of us is I want us to have the right kingdom mindset.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus spent the majority of his ministry teaching and preaching about what the kingdom of God, and it's important for us to understand that from his perspective and not from our own.
Tyler Lynde: So let's dive into this.
Tyler Lynde: The first thing that this passage says to me is that this world wants to be served.
Tyler Lynde: This world wants to be served.
Tyler Lynde: Remember that first line.
Tyler Lynde: And he said to them how many of you would acknowledge this morning that the natural tendency of human beings is to desire what To be served.
Tyler Lynde: I want to be served.
Tyler Lynde: I'll give you a little proof.
Tyler Lynde: Bk, have it your way, I know, don't quit your day job.
Tyler Lynde: Okay, I'm not planning on it, but it's in the commercial.
Tyler Lynde: I mean, we want to be served.
Tyler Lynde: We want to be served our way.
Tyler Lynde: We want to get what we want in the way that we want, how we want it.
Tyler Lynde: It's all about me.
Tyler Lynde: How we want it, it's all about me.
Tyler Lynde: We could switch that song around.
Tyler Lynde: It's all about me.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus, no, no, I can hear him screaming no, please.
Tyler Lynde: But we've been trained by our culture to believe that life is all about us and therefore should be about others, taking care of our needs and our desires.
Tyler Lynde: And those in authority that Jesus is speaking about here tend to try to make others subservient to them.
Tyler Lynde: They want power, they want absolute power, so that they can exercise that power over other human beings and, ultimately, that those other human beings would do what Would serve them.
Tyler Lynde: Would serve them, would serve them.
Tyler Lynde: Now, here's the problem.
Tyler Lynde: It doesn't matter in that kind of scenario who you have to harm or who you have to run over in order to accomplish that.
Tyler Lynde: As long as I'm being served, my needs are being met, then I've accomplished whatever I need to do, and it doesn't really matter how it affects anybody else on the planet, right?
Tyler Lynde: So this world wants to be served, but it not only wants to be served, but it not only wants to be served.
Tyler Lynde: This world wants to be seen as serving people.
Tyler Lynde: It goes on to say in the passage.
Tyler Lynde: And those in authority over them are called benefactors.
Tyler Lynde: Benefactors the only thing better than being served for an ungodly leader is to be considered a servant by those who that they are making serve them.
Tyler Lynde: So if I can somehow make the people that are serving me feel like I'm serving them, then I'm going to feel really good about myself and they'll feel good about me.
Tyler Lynde: So you know how they used to do this.
Tyler Lynde: They'd give little token gifts to all the little people out there, and the little token gifts that were given to all the little people out there and the little token gifts that were given to all the little people out there were to change, to brighten up the attitude of the people towards their leaders, so that they would speak well of them, so that they would think well of them, so that they would call them their benefactors.
Tyler Lynde: These people are here and they're serving us, don't you see it?
Tyler Lynde: All the while, many times, these very leaders ended up being cruel tyrants, not caring at all about the people that they were supposedly serving.
Tyler Lynde: They were only interested in their own status and power.
Tyler Lynde: Why do we do the things that we do?
Tyler Lynde: Are we looking for something in return?
Tyler Lynde: Are we looking for some kind of adoration or acclamation?
Tyler Lynde: Are we looking for somebody to look at us and say, wow, they really love me, they really care about me, they really serve me?
Tyler Lynde: Are we doing that with the right motivation and the right heart and the right attitude?
Tyler Lynde: That's what Jesus was trying to get to with his disciples.
Tyler Lynde: Let's make sure our heart is right.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus goes on to say basically, in our terms, we are not of this world.
Tyler Lynde: We are not of this world.
Tyler Lynde: Everybody's wondering if there are aliens.
Tyler Lynde: Look around.
Tyler Lynde: This room is filled with them.
Tyler Lynde: This world.
Tyler Lynde: Everybody's wondering if there are aliens.
Tyler Lynde: Look around.
Tyler Lynde: This room is filled with them.
Tyler Lynde: We are not of this world.
Tyler Lynde: We belong to another kingdom.
Tyler Lynde: Peter actually called us aliens, right Strangers in this land.
Tyler Lynde: We are set apart.
Tyler Lynde: We are in this world, but we are not of this world, and so we live in this dichotomy between those two things.
Tyler Lynde: The kingdom of God isn't like this world system at all.
Tyler Lynde: In fact, jesus said but not so with you.
Tyler Lynde: You're not going to be like the Gentile leaders and the Gentile lords that require service or serve a little bit, so that other people will look at them and say, wow, look at how great those people are.
Tyler Lynde: We're going to be different than that.
Tyler Lynde: Not so with you.
Tyler Lynde: According to Jesus, greatness was the very opposite, in fact, of what the world says that it is.
Tyler Lynde: That's why some people have coined the kingdom of God as the upside down kingdom.
Tyler Lynde: Everything that we've been taught in our culture, everything that we believe to be true based on what we've experienced and seen and heard about and learned, many of those things are completely backwards of what they should be when we talk about the kingdom of God, and we have to continually remind ourselves of this, or else we could easily find ourselves slipping into the way that this world does things.
Tyler Lynde: So if we want to be great Jesus is talking to his disciples you're worried about being great.
Tyler Lynde: Here's how you're going to do it.
Tyler Lynde: If we want to be great, we must serve.
Tyler Lynde: We must serve.
Tyler Lynde: It goes on to say rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest and the leader, as one who serves.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus redefines the meaning of greatness.
Tyler Lynde: Here.
Tyler Lynde: He reverses the values of the world.
Tyler Lynde: The greatness is measured in terms of services that are given without thought of any kind of reward.
Tyler Lynde: I'm serving because it's my heart's desire and I'm not looking for anything in return.
Tyler Lynde: It's amazing.
Tyler Lynde: That is the kingdom of God.
Tyler Lynde: This is the natural disposition of those who are a part of the kingdom of God.
Tyler Lynde: Don't give in to the temptation to come underneath the culture of this world.
Tyler Lynde: In this regard, let's make sure that we're standing strong and implementing, by God's grace and by the work of the Holy Spirit, the kingdom of God culture which says I live.
Tyler Lynde: I'm going to just give you the answer here to my dilemma.
Tyler Lynde: When Jordan was born, not long after that, the Lord dropped something in my heart.
Tyler Lynde: I don't even know if I heard somebody else say it I don't.
Tyler Lynde: I honestly don't know where it came from, but it became kind of a defining phrase for my life, and it's just simply this I live to give, I live to give.
Tyler Lynde: My kids will tell you.
Tyler Lynde: They know this saying because I say it all the time.
Tyler Lynde: I live to give.
Tyler Lynde: It's a part, it's becoming a part more and more every day, of who I am.
Tyler Lynde: The natural disposition of my life in Christ is that I live to give.
Tyler Lynde: It's my heart's desire, it's what God has placed in me and it's what I want to emulate around me and it's what I want to emulate around me.
Tyler Lynde: So the first service that we must offer is we must serve God.
Tyler Lynde: Deuteronomy 10, verse 12, says and now Israel, what does the Lord, your God require of you?
Tyler Lynde: But to fear the Lord, your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord, your God with all your heart and with all your soul, not just surface stuff, but from the depths of who you are.
Tyler Lynde: I'm serving because this God is worthy of my service.
Tyler Lynde: Remember when Jesus was asked what's the greatest commandment?
Tyler Lynde: What was his answer?
Tyler Lynde: You shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Tyler Lynde: And then the second is, like unto it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Tyler Lynde: Serve God and serve each other.
Tyler Lynde: That's the next point.
Tyler Lynde: We must serve each other.
Tyler Lynde: Galatians 5.13,.
Tyler Lynde: For you were called to freedom, brothers, only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh.
Tyler Lynde: How many of you know it's easy to serve him and love him Because he never does anything wrong?
Tyler Lynde: How many of you know it's easy to serve him and love him because he never does anything wrong?
Tyler Lynde: He never says anything wrong, although we disagree with him at times, if we're honest, right, he doesn't do anything that's wrong.
Tyler Lynde: Although we sometimes have question marks there, his motives are all pure.
Tyler Lynde: Everything about serving God is fairly easy in some ways because of the character and nature of who he is.
Tyler Lynde: But when we talk about loving and serving each other as a part of the body of Christ, how many of you know we're still in process.
Tyler Lynde: We're not quite there yet.
Tyler Lynde: We haven't yet arrived where we will one day arrive, when we see Jesus and we will be transformed and changed and we will be like him.
Tyler Lynde: We, as the body of Christ, need each other and the gifts that God's given to each one of us.
Tyler Lynde: It matters which local church you're a part of, and it matters that you choose to serve the other people that you're connected with within that body, because each one of us provides a different aspect of the life of Jesus that is needed within that body.
Tyler Lynde: Each one of you have tremendous gifts and things that God's put in your heart, and strengths and things that are unique to you as a person and this body.
Tyler Lynde: If you're a part of Trinity Community Church, I'm telling you right now this body needs you.
Tyler Lynde: We desperately need you, and we need you not just in attendance.
Tyler Lynde: We need you not just you know, in a peripheral way.
Tyler Lynde: We need you as a part of the lifeblood of this body.
Tyler Lynde: And one of the ways that we can interact in that way, one of the ways that we can engage in that way, is to think about how can I serve one another, how can we serve one another, how can we serve each other?
Tyler Lynde: I want to say to you that this church is unique.
Tyler Lynde: Most churches and most leaders that I talk to talk about the 20-80 rule.
Tyler Lynde: Do you know what that rule is?
Tyler Lynde: That is a rule that 20% of the people do 80% of the work.
Tyler Lynde: 20% of the people do 80% of the work.
Tyler Lynde: How many of you know if you're trying to do anything much, that's not going to work for long.
Tyler Lynde: Because what happens to the 20% of the people.
Tyler Lynde: They get burnt out, they get weary, they grow tired.
Tyler Lynde: It's just too much.
Tyler Lynde: In this church, 80% of the people do 80% of the work and I want to say to you thank you very, very much.
Tyler Lynde: It is an unusual situation that we find ourselves in.
Tyler Lynde: It is rare beyond belief.
Tyler Lynde: And so, as I speak these things to you today, I'm not speaking them to you in some kind of tone that comes from frustration or like I wish that you would serve.
Tyler Lynde: It's more like can we make sure that our serving is aligned with where the areas of need are?
Tyler Lynde: Can we connect the gifts and strengths and character and personality that God has placed in each one of us with the areas of need?
Tyler Lynde: Now, if there's an 80-80 rule here, guess what's left.
Tyler Lynde: Some of the mathematicians in the room can help me with this.
Tyler Lynde: There's no trick questions here.
Tyler Lynde: What's left?
Tyler Lynde: 20%, to be honest with you, that's where we're lacking.
Tyler Lynde: We have a 20% need within our church when it comes to the ministry teams here, and so what we'd ask if you are not currently serving in a ministry team, or if you are serving in a ministry team but you feel like you have more time that you could dedicate or donate.
Tyler Lynde: If you're serving, maybe, say, once a quarter, and you'd be willing to serve once a month, or there's all kinds of scenarios that Derek can talk to you about in a few minutes.
Tyler Lynde: I won't get into all the details, but we're just asking you to prayerfully consider stepping up and being a part of the solution to our 20% need.
Tyler Lynde: Does that make sense?
Tyler Lynde: Appreciate that very much.
Tyler Lynde: You guys like I said before, you guys are amazing.
Tyler Lynde: I'll just give two or three examples.
Tyler Lynde: There are some of you who visit people that are shut-ins.
Tyler Lynde: Did you know we took communion together today?
Tyler Lynde: There are people in our church that take communion elements to the shut-ins that can't come to church and they sit with them and they pray with them and they take communion together.
Tyler Lynde: That's amazing to me that people would have the heart to do something like that.
Tyler Lynde: There are other people who take in other people's kids that they barely know into their home to take care of them, to watch over them, to help them, so that the family can focus on one child that is in need of medical help for an extended period of time.
Tyler Lynde: That's happening right here in this church, not a program that we started, not anything that we, you know, begged or asked for anybody to be involved with.
Tyler Lynde: This is just in your hearts to do this.
Tyler Lynde: I got an email this week from somebody that was we were praying for them and they were just thanking us for the support.
Tyler Lynde: They had an injury, a physical injury that's kept them out of church for a certain period of time, but they really want to get back with us.
Tyler Lynde: And what I didn't know was that some of you have been preparing meals for them and taking them to them.
Tyler Lynde: Some of you have went and sat with them as they were trying to recover and trying to get through the physical therapy and all of that stuff that goes on with trying to get better from something physical, you know, something difficult physically.
Tyler Lynde: The other thing that I'll just nail this as the over the top thing I guess they have poodles.
Tyler Lynde: Somebody's been taking care of the poodles and they mentioned that in the email and I'm like talk about going above and beyond.
Tyler Lynde: I mean, you care, some of you care even about the dogs in the house.
Tyler Lynde: That's amazing to me.
Tyler Lynde: Keep it up, let's keep going.
Tyler Lynde: Let's engage all of us in this kind of thought, in this kind of imagination, lord?
Tyler Lynde: How can you use me today to be a blessing to somebody else?
Tyler Lynde: Amen, let's finish up here.
Tyler Lynde: There are several teams within the church that are here to serve you the elder team we are servants of the Lord and we are here to serve you.
Tyler Lynde: And I mean that.
Tyler Lynde: The deacon ministry, same thing, the staff, our oversight team, the ministry teams within this church.
Tyler Lynde: I could go on and on and on.
Tyler Lynde: And then, finally, we must serve the world.
Tyler Lynde: Matthew 28,.
Tyler Lynde: We know, as Jesus is speaking to his disciples before he gets ready to ascend, he says all authority in heaven, on earth has been given to me.
Tyler Lynde: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and behold, I'm with you always, to the end of the age.
Tyler Lynde: God's kingdom plan is for us to partner with him in reaching the world for Jesus.
Tyler Lynde: God doesn't just want us to serve within the confines of this church.
Tyler Lynde: He wants us to reach out with his love and his compassion and his kindness to a world that is in desperate need of Jesus.
Tyler Lynde: Some of you young people over here.
Tyler Lynde: God is going to be calling you to a life of missions and serving him around the world, and I want you to know that you being in church and paying attention to what we're talking about is something that God's going to use in your life as a preparatory step.
Tyler Lynde: And wherever you go, whatever you do, your life is on mission, whether you're in Zimbabwe or whether you're in Knoxville, tennessee.
Tyler Lynde: So I just want to encourage you with that Don't resent this time in your life.
Tyler Lynde: This is some of the best times that you have to be able to focus in on what's really important.
Tyler Lynde: So we can serve the world by going.
Tyler Lynde: We have trips scheduled to go to Cuba as an exploratory trip to see if God might make a connection point there for us to take more short-term trips to Cuba.
Tyler Lynde: We also have a potential trip to Poland.
Tyler Lynde: Rob and Chris obviously have a Buffalo trip that they'll be doing in the summer and other things to be involved with.
Tyler Lynde: We can go.
Tyler Lynde: We can also serve the world by sending, by equipping people, by discipling, by working with people to make sure that they're ready to go, and also by giving to the work.
Tyler Lynde: Again, this is a giving church.
Tyler Lynde: Thank you so much.
Tyler Lynde: And we can serve the world by praying.
Tyler Lynde: There's no distance in the spirit.
Tyler Lynde: There's the same reward.
Tyler Lynde: Mark is on mission right now and Yuri's getting ready to join him in just a short while, and we prayed for them last week and I ask you that you would continue to pray for them, lord.
Tyler Lynde: We just pray for Mark right now and for Yuri, lord, as he goes to meet him.
Tyler Lynde: They're going into areas that there's a lot of darkness but, lord, we know that the light of Jesus is upon them and shines in them and through them, and we just ask that you would do the good work that only you can do Protect them and keep them safe, fill them with your spirit, help them to have maximum impact in Jesus' name.
Tyler Lynde: Thank you, lord.
Tyler Lynde: Finally, jesus is the greatest servant of all, it says.
Tyler Lynde: For who is the greater?
Tyler Lynde: One who reclines at the table or one who serves?
Tyler Lynde: Is it not the one who reclines at the table?
Tyler Lynde: That's the way the world thinks.
Tyler Lynde: Who's greatest?
Tyler Lynde: The one who's being served.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus says but I am among you as the one who serves To drive the point home.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus is making this illustration.
Tyler Lynde: Jesus came as a servant of men.
Tyler Lynde: This is the character of his own life and his own ministry, and all who would follow him must imitate him in this.
Tyler Lynde: How did Jesus serve?
Tyler Lynde: He came into this world, gave up everything, humbled himself, lived a perfect life, and he humbled himself to the point of death on the cross.
Tyler Lynde: He served God and he served the world by doing these things.
Tyler Lynde: He's our example.
Tyler Lynde: And as the story continues on in the book of John, it says Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper.
Tyler Lynde: He laid aside his outer garments and, taking a towel, tied it around his waist.
Tyler Lynde: Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Tyler Lynde: He came to Simon Peter, who said to him Lord, do you wash my feet?
Tyler Lynde: Jesus answered him what I'm doing now doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.
Tyler Lynde: Peter said to him you shall never wash my feet.
Tyler Lynde: There must have been some bad feet right.
Tyler Lynde: And Jesus answered him if I don't wash your feet, if I don't wash you, you have no share with me.
Tyler Lynde: And Simon Peter said to him Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head, all of me.
Tyler Lynde: And Jesus said to him the one who is bathed does.
Tyler Lynde: Did you ever think about the fact that Judas was here?
Tyler Lynde: For he knew who was to betray him.
Tyler Lynde: That was why he said not all of you are clean.
Tyler Lynde: When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and returned, resumed his place, he said to them do you understand what I've done for you?
Tyler Lynde: You call me teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.
Tyler Lynde: If I, then your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet, for I have given you an example that you also should do just as I've done to you.
Tyler Lynde: Truly, truly, I say to you a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Tyler Lynde: If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
