“A new command I give you:

Love one another.”

“It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus

knew that the time had come for him to leave

this world and go to the Father.

Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his

love. The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already

prompted…

…Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things

under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning

to God;

so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped

a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a

basin…

…and began to wash his disciples' feet,

drying them with the towel that was wrapped

around him.”

“Your attitude should be the same as that of

Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider

equality with God something to be

grasped, but made…

…himself nothing, taking the very nature

of a servant, being made in human

likeness. And being found in appearance as

a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death…

…even death on a cross! Therefore God

exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is

above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should

…bow, in heaven and on earth and under the

earth, and every tongue confess that

Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the

Father.”

“He took up the nature of a servant because that was His essential nature as God.”

“He loved the to the end…”

“He loved them by SERVING them!

“I am here to be served by everyone and become someone great.”

“I am here to serve and give my life for others?”

“He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to

wash my feet?" Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I

am doing, but later you will…

…understand." "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."

Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."

“Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied,

"not just my feet but my hands and my head

as well!" Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath

needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is

clean.

And you are clean, though not every one of you." For he knew

who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not

every one was clean.”

"No," said Peter, "you shall never

wash my feet."

Carry Your Burdens?

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and

for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye

shall find rest unto your souls. For my

yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Help You with Daily Problems?

Matthew 6:25-33

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have

enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than

clothing?

Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father

feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? “And why worry about your

clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and

how they grow.

They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they

are. And if God cares so wonderfully for

wildflowers that are here…

and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will

certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? “So don’t worry about these

things, saying, ‘What will we eat?

What will we drink? What will we wear?’

These things dominate the thoughts of

unbelievers, but your heavenly Father

already knows all your needs.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything

you need.”

Love You Despite Your Failures?

“You must be born again…”

John 3:5

“Man’s humility does not begin with the

giving of service; it begins with the readiness to

receive it…”

William Temple wrote…

“After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and

asked, “Do youunderstand what I was

doing?

You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am.

And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have

washed your feet, you ought to wash each

other’s feet.

I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.

Now that you know these things, God will

bless you for doing them.”

“If you know these things, blessed are

you if you do them.”

“If you know these things,

blessed are you if you do them.”

“If you know these things (and you do), blessed are you if you do them (and

you might or might not).”

“…whatever you did for one of the

least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

“…Do you love me?

Feed my sheep.”

“ A new command I give you: Love one another.”
