THE SERVANT JESUS

John chapters 13–17 represent our Lord’s “farewell message” to His beloved disciples, culminating in His intercessory prayer for them and for us. Moses (Deut. 31–33), Joshua (Josh. 23–24), and Paul (Acts 20) gave other farewell addresses in Scripture. But Jesus added an important “action section” to His message when He washed the feet of His disciples. It was an object lesson they would remember forever.
​
Here we see our Lord in a fourfold relationship: to His heavenly Father (John 13:1–5), to Simon Peter (John 13:6–11), to all of the disciples (John 13:12–17), and to Judas (John 13:18–35). In each of these sections of the gospel of John, you will find a special message, a spiritual truth to help you in your own Christian life. I trust you will be able to join us starting tomorrow, Sunday, May 3, as we examine these relationships.
