Reflection on John 13

Reflection on John 13

Jesus shows us a BETTER humility.

Jesus shows us that to be a leader, a teacher and a person in authority, we must humbly serve.

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.“Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 
13 “You call me ‘Teacher’and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 
14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 
15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 
16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 
17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

(John 13: 12-17)





Jesus teaches us a BETTER commandment.

Jesus lives a life full of love for those who follow Him as well as those who hate him (his enemies).

Jesus teaches, preaches, convicts, convinces and dies to reconcile God's enemies with God.

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

(John 13:34-35)
