John 13v1-17

This is a 'wow' event! John will not let us get away from the Passover. Jesus is the One Moses wrote about and the life of the Old Testament church was to be centred around. And now we get to Jesus being aware of his greatness - he is above every authority and he knows it. So what do we expect the next line to be? So he showed off his authority? He sat there and let everyone serve him? No! He dressed as a servant and washed his disciples' feet. The Bible turns our society's view of greatness on its head. Greatness is using your power and authority to serve others. Jesus took the lowest place on the cross to wash us clean and he says to us, use your gifts, power, authority to be a foot washer for my kingdom!
