John13:31-35 Jesus speaks here about that the Father and Him will be glorified in all the things that are about to happen. He also tells them that He is going away and gives them a new command. This command was for them and for us! For those who are His disciples. The command says, love one another the way I love you, by this people will know that you are my disciples. This is something that we must consider very important and seek Him to help us accomplish. Do you love others the way Christ loves you? First we must consider how does Jesus love us, Eph.5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. May today we truly show the love of Christ in what we say and do! Through this love others see that Jesus is leading us as His disciples! To Him be the Glory! God bless

John 13:1-20 Jesus washes His disciples' feet. This is an amazing picture of Gods grace and mercy. Here He is teaching us to humble ourselves and to serve those He puts in our life. Not just people who are loving us and are on our side but our enemies. He knew what Judas was going to do but He still washed his feet. If Christ can wash Judas's feet, then we can wash any bodies feet. Peter didn't want Jesus to wash his feet because he knew he was unworthy for Jesus to touch his feet. Yet Jesus told him, if I don't wash you, you have no share with me. Peter's reply says it all, then wash all of me! Are you asking God to wash all of you? If so are you willing to wash others feet out of the grace God has shown you? Jesus said, For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. This must be the way in which we minister to others. We must die to ourselves, lift up our cross, and follow Him. All for the Glory of the One who sends us! May Jesus be exalted in our lives today! God bless

John 12:37-50 in this text the people still are wrestling with unbelief and we see that was also prophesied. The word said that some of the officials believed but loved the praise of man more than the praise of God. Wow! This is a battle within its self, so often we care more about what others will think, then what God thinks. So Christ again tells us why He came into the world. He came that He would speak the word the Father gave Him and it is eternal life. He did not come to judge the world but the word He has spoken will judge the world. So for those of us who believe that Jesus is the Christ, died on the cross for our sins, raised from the dead and is seated at God's right hand, how does it shape your life? Is this the foundation for your day? Today remember why Jesus said He come and ask Him to empower you through the Holy Spirit to follow Him. We must be sharing that same word of eternal life, He gave us, for His glory not ours. God bless
