DIRTY FEET

HONOR

Matthew 13:57–58 NKJV

So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

YOUR PERSONAL EVALUATION HAS PUBLIC CONSEQUENCES

HONOR

A SOCIAL TERM DESCRIBING HOW PEOPLE WITHIN SOCIETY EVALUATE ONE ANOTHER

A CONCEPT OF WORTH RESULTING IN PUBLIC ESTEEM, FAME, GLORY

“TO BE HEAVY” “WEIGHTY” - TO HOLD A LOT OF WEIGHT; TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

HONOR DETERMINES HEAVEN ON EARTH

WE CANNOT HONOR JESUS AND DISHONOR ONE ANOTHER

WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO HONOR CHRIST

ARE YOU MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO HONOR JESUS?

IS YOUR LIFESTYLE A CONTRADICTION TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HONOR JESUS?

WHAT AREA OF YOUR LIFE NEEDS MORE HONOR FOR JESUS?

IMMORAL LIFESTYLES ARE RESTRICTING HEAVEN

HOW DO WE GET MORE HEAVEN TO COME TO THE EARTH?!

JOHN 13:54-58 READ

John 13:14 NKJV

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

John 13:15 NKJV

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

THE SUPREME ACT OF HONOR IS TO WASH SOMEONE’S FEET

FOOTWASHNIG:

SIGN OF WELCOME

PREPARATION FOR THE PRESENCE

Exodus 30:19–20 NKJV

for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.

THE PRESENCE OF GOD DEMANDS PURITY

PURITY IS THE PROCESS OF CONTINUAL WASHING

YOU’RE NOT WHAT YOU STEPPED IN!

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE WHAT THE TABLE REVEALS WITH DIRTY FEET

LET ME PREPARE YOU FOR HEAVEN!

JESUS WASHED THEIR FEET - YOU STEPPED IN SHAME, FAILURE, REJECTION, GOSSIP, SICKNESS...

LET ME GET THAT OFF OF YOU!

ILLUSTRATE:

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WASH SOMEONES FEET WITH PRIDE

YOU MIGHT SAY, IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO WASH OFF WHAT I STEPPED IN!

Luke 5:12–13 NKJV

And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

ONLY JESUS CAN MAKE US CLEAN FROM SIN!

Matthew 19:26 NKJV

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

WHERE MAN FAILS GOD DOES NOT!

DO THIS:

REFUSE TO EVALUATE THEM/YOU FOR WHAT THEY/YOU STEPPED IN

CARRY A TOWEL ALWAYS
