The Last supper and washing the disciples’ feet.
Jesus gives the last supper.
Washes Peter’s feet knowing Peter would deny Him.
Washes the Judas’ feet. John 6:64
Jesus just hours before His death does two amazing things.
First, He gives the last supper. This is what we call it but more than that He was telling the Disciples that the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31. The promise was that God would forgive our sins and that He will be our God.
Second, He washes the Disciples’ feet. This was the job of a servant. This was the lowest work to be done. But because no one else did it Jesus did.
What is even more amazing is that He washed Peter’s feet knowing he would deny Him. He also washed Judas’ feet.
But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not believe and the one who would betray him.)
Jesus knew Judas would betray Him from the start and yet He kept Him around and washed His feet. What love does the Savior have?
Jesus betrayed by Judas.
Jesus betrayed by Judas.
In the moment of truth Jesus does not deny Himself. He remains faithful.
He did not have to go somewhere everyone could find Him.
But He did
He did not have to be waiting.
But He did
He did not have to say He was Jesus
But He did
His response to them looking for Jesus of Nazareth was to acknowledge who He was. He simply said, I am He. He cannot deny Himself and He could not deny His purpose. He came for this. This was His mission. He declared the Father and He declared Himself. He cannot deny Himself.
if we are faithless, he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself.
He will always be who He is even when it was costly.
Jesus nailed to the cross, Jesus dying on the cross.
Jesus nailed to the cross, Jesus dying on the cross.
The waiting, the agony, the anticipation of death. The author of life waiting to die.
There they crucified him and two others with him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. Pilate also had a sign made and put on the cross. It said: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.
