John13.1-17
from Dove Creek Bible Church's Podcast · host Josh Martin
John 13:1–17 opens the farewell section of John’s Gospel with a powerful scene at the Last Supper, where Jesus, fully aware that his death is near, demonstrates his love by taking the role of a servant and washing his disciples’ feet. This shocking act of humility—normally done by the lowest servant—serves as both a picture of spiritual cleansing and a model of sacrificial love and leadership. In teaching that his followers must do likewise, Jesus redefines greatness as humble service and calls his disciples to embody his love in practical, self-giving ways.
