Jesus washes the disciples feet.

John 13:1-5

1. Jesus was aware that the hour had come. He knew the suffering he was about to endure.
2. Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him.
3. Jesus put a towel around his waist. A King who led with a towel! Kings wear robes and jewelry! They display they display splendor!
4. Like a servant.

John 13:6-9

1. They had witnessed Jesus's power (calms the storm, raised the dead, cured diseases...). Seen his holiness. Witnessed the transfiguration and felt the presence of God!
2. Peter felt unworthy! Peters response was the only one recorded but probably a common response among the disciples.
3. Why did he want jesus not to stop at his feet? What was symbolic about his hands and head? The instruments of sin.

John 13:10-11

1. Peter was far from clean. The power of salvation through Gods grace and mercy!
2. Peter betrayed Jesus just as much as Judas!
3. I am dirty but Jesus has made me clean!

John 13:12-17

1. Do you understand what Jesus has done for you? Much more than serving!
2. We are called to remove all social status, economic status, pride, and arrogance and serve!
3. Our call to service has nothing to do with the response of the people we are serving. Jesus washed Judas feet even though Judas was far from Jesus and was looking to betray him!
4. Christ love compels us — 2 corinthians 5:14-15 — this should be our motivation to do likewise!
