Characteristics of Love -Part 2 Teaching, Warning and Disclosing
INTRODUCTION
Possible Title
Characteristics of Love Part 2 Teaching and warning
Observations
1. Question V.12 Do you understand what I have done for
you?
2.
3. V.16 No servant greater than his master, messenger greater that the on who sent him.
4. V.18 He who shares my bread has lifted up his heel against me
5. V.20 Whoever accepts the one I send accepts me
Whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me
Now our story takes a shift.
Jesus in the next verses tells His followers what this foot washing means.
This takes us from "Trust" to "understanding" We have seen the call by Jesus for them to trust Him now He calls them to learn from what He has done.
He starts with the question, "Do you understand what I have done for you?” Do any of us ever truly understand what Jesus has done for us?
When we think of foot washing and humility I know I have not yet understood or I would trust more.
When it comes to the cross I don't think I will ever truly understand.
Why would Jesus die in my place?
7. V.25 Question - "Lord who is it?"
Intro
Now our story takes a shift.
Jesus in the next verses tells His followers what this foot washing means.
This takes us from "Trust" to "understanding" We have seen the call bu Jesus for them to trust Him now He calls them to learn from what He has done.
He starts with the question, "Do you understand what I have done for you?
Do any of us ever truly understand what Jesus has done for us?
When we think of foot washing and humility I know I have not yet understood or I would trust more.
When it comes to the cross I don't think I will ever truly understand.
Why would Jesus die in my place?
Jesus answers His own question with V.15 I have set you an example.
We are not greater than our Lord and He humbled Himself and became obedient even even unto death.
Jesus then compounds our problem.
If I have done this for you, you should do this for one another.
Now we have a whole new dynamic.
(NIV84) “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.
So our task has gone from trust to commitment.
Following the example of Jesus.
V. 12-17 Teaching
:12 Act - When He had finished washing their feet.
he put on his clothes
AND
returned to his place.
Question - “Do you understand what I have done for
you?”
Response - he asked them.
This is a very profound question.
What has He done?
Do you understand the meaning.
:13 Pronouncement - “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
AND
rightly so, for that is what I am.
Clear pronouncement of His Lordship
:14 Condition - Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have
washed your feet, you also should wash
Implication - one another’s feet.
(NIV84) "Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older.
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
This is a debt we owe each other so that each may be provided for in all things and the world will see our love to one another and glorify our Father in heaven.
:15 Reason - I have set you an example
Act - that you should do
Cp - as I have done for you.
What kind of an example is this.
It is the example or illustration of HUMILITY.
It is what happens when we all endeavor to serve or submit one to the other.
It is the husband serving his wife and the pastor serving the Lord's people.
:16 Speech - I tell you the truth,
Pronouncement - no servant is greater than his master,
NOR
is a messenger greater than the one who
sent him.
The example goes on to include our service for and to Christ.
Since He was not above serving neither are we.
:17 Condition - Now that you know these things
Specific - you will be blessed
if you do them.
Two conditions lead to blessing, Taking the knowledge you have and then continually doing what you know.
Lots of people have the knowledge of servanthood and many serve others occasionally but the blessing comes from taking the knowledge you have and applying it on a continual bases.
So in this teaching we have seen three attributes Jesus is looking for in us.
Humility, Example and Servanthood.
These done and keep on doing lead to the blessing of the Lord.
