New Commandment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When it comes to the story of Jesus washing the disciple’s feet, it feels like the Church has exhibited “selective hearing”!
o In today’s passage Jesus tells us why we should pay closer attention!
John 13:18-30
o In this part of our passage Jesus is demonstrating that it’s been prophesied that that He would be betrayed! (Psalm 41:9)
§ In other words, He’s NO victim! This is part of the PLAN!
John 13:31-38
o In verse 34 Jesus gives a “new commandment”, to love one another.
§ What’s so “new” about this?! Even non-religious people love their family and friends.
· This is where Jesus washing the feet of the disciples comes in.
o By washing the feet of the disciples Jesus was turning societal norms upside down!
§ You must never think you are too good or too important to do anything, as a Christian.
· THAT’S NEW!
§ Living like that will not only cause the world to sit up and take notice, it will cause God to, too!
