Jesus recognized that His end is near and is getting His house in order.
Have you every heard someone’s last wishes expressed?
Jesus recognized His time was near.
We learn from that Jesus was making preparations for His APPOINTED TIME.
We see in other passages the heavenly time table:
Joyn
Jesus was returning to His Father.
John 16
We learn more of the relationship Jesus had with His disciples.
“Having loved His own who were in the world”
How did Jesus love His own?
Jesus didn’t have children but He adopted these as His own.
He had fellowship with them.
He taught them.
He talked with them.
He lived with them.
He cared for them.
He loved them.
Who are you investing your life into that way?
In spite of the fact that the disciples weren’t the brightest crayons in the box, Jesus loved them just as they were.
He challenged them.
He helped them grow.
He even rebuked them…yet never stopped loving them.
This is not true of only the 12 disciples, as these 12 were not only disciples but representatives of the entire world that would follow Jesus.
When we follow Jesus, we devote ourselves to Him as His people- His own.
Jesus has a love for the world.
He demonstrated this for the discipline and continues through us.
Jesus loves with an everlasting love.
“He now showed them the full extent of His love.”
An everlasting love in its fullest extent is a love everlasting.
The fullest extent of His love is one that is inseparable from the One that gives this love.
Jesus loved them to completion, to the fullest, all the way to the end.
Jesus having loved His own is carefully outlined here in this chapter:
His humility and service,
His teaching,
His death, .
In the midst of the greatest time of fellowship, the devil is at work.
The word PROMPTED (beblekotos) means to throw, cast, put.
These are the same words in the description of .
Ephesians 6:16
Judas was an unbeliever.
We learn this from
Judas did not have a shied of faith to ward off Satan’s attack.
By the way, Judas was prompted not compelled.
Not all that follow Jesus are His own.
Jesus had been given all and had power over all.
He is the possessor of heaven and earth.
All things means His rule is complete.
He lordship is absolute.
“He came from God.” Further indication that Jesus was with God from the beginning.
Jesus was born into the world but before the world was born.
Jesus came for God as the Son of God.
Note all the prophets of the Old Testament were raised up and worked for God.
Jesus came directly from God and He was returning to God.
Jesus was going back to the glory He had left.
Jesus knew all this.
He intentionally gets up and gives a surprising act of grace.
In fact, the wording indicates that because of the fact Jesus knew that the Father put all things in His power, that He was from God and was returning to God, He got up and performed a selfless act.
What Jesus knew helped determine what He did.
Christ is demonstrating the role of a servant:
This is contrary to what the disciples wanted.
Remember their greed?
Matthew 20:2
Speaks of their desire to sit beside Jesus in the Kingdom.
They had been arguing who among them was the greatest.
A similar argument is recorded in .
However, Jesus revealed here that He was a servant:
The disciples had seen Jesus’ feet anointed by the woman with oil.
It was a mark of honor for a host to provide a servant to wash the dust off a guest’s feet.
There are several mentions in the Bible of washing one’s feet.
1 Timothy
Jesus washed the feet and dried them.
This tells me that He is all about completing the task, seeing it all the way to the end.
Some wonder if Jesus washed all the disciples’ feet.
Nothing appears to show it was just a few.
This means He would have washed the feet of Judas as well.
The way this is structured in the Greek shows Peter saying, “Are YOU going to wash MY feet?” Jesus wasn’t supposed to be the one that served.
Peter was speaking out loud perhaps for the rest of the disciples who were in shock having watched this.
We are often called and told to do something and we question it.
It is best to trust and obey.
Abraham had faith and obeyed.
Jesus gives us assurance and the hope that we will know what we need to know.
