The American Dream
1920’s - young Michigan farmer - teen
loved building and engineering things
1927 developed new type of furniture
Chair that reclines and later a lever that kicked out a foot rest
People feel in love with it.
Company went public in 1970 - Lazy Boy 1.5 billion per year
1998 - Edwin Shoemaker at age 90 came home, sat in his recliner and passed away
From Bottom to Top
Roman dream - class system
Caesar, Senate - 600 men, Equestrian class - Decurion - wealthy land owners - 100% of the power
Common Citizen - freed men - servants
John 13 - a lot in these 5 verses
Everything was in motion - the cross is coming
all authority - vs 3
Does the radical - The Lord and King - serves
Serves them all - Judas, Peter, Thomas
He got dirty, towel was filthy,
From Bottom to Top
Jesus does the work - we have to respond
Peter vs. 6-8
This is where the Christian life begins - allowing Jesus to serve us
Doesn’t end here
Serving God = Serving Others
Great commandment - Love God - Love others
This is that connection -
we show our love for the invisible God by loving/serving others
Serving God = Serving Others
vs 14-15 - example to do not just know
this is counter-cultural
vs 17 - blessed - if you do them
blessed - makarios - not just happy - satisfied
This is loving others - new command
Serving God = Serving Others
Serve without loving - cannot love without serving
Think about it - we are loved with deserving it
This is how we are commanded to love
To love is to serve, share
Christian life is - learning to receive the love,grace, and mercy of Jesus - giving it away to others
Wesley put it this way
One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God.
And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbor; which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us.
John Wesley
