In today's gathering, we delved into the profound lessons of humility and servitude exemplified by Jesus Christ. We began by reflecting on the Passover Festival, a time when Israel commemorated God's deliverance from Egypt. This festival set the stage for the ultimate sacrifice—Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God, who would take away the sins of the world. His impending death on the cross was a fulfillment of the Passover, as He was to be sacrificed for our transgressions.

We then turned our attention to the Last Supper, where Jesus, fully aware of His divine authority and imminent return to the Father, chose to demonstrate servitude in an extraordinary act of washing His disciples' feet. This was a task typically reserved for servants, yet Jesus embraced it to teach us the importance of humility. Even Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray Him, received this act of love from Jesus.

Peter's initial refusal to have his feet washed by Jesus led to a crucial teaching moment. Jesus explained that unless He washed Peter, there would be no part with Him. This washing was symbolic of the spiritual cleansing necessary for salvation, which is available to all who accept Jesus as Lord. However, Jesus also pointed out that as we walk through life, we accumulate the 'dirt' of sin and must continually return to Him in repentance to be cleansed anew.

Jesus' actions and teachings at the Last Supper underscored that no servant is greater than their master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. By washing the disciples' feet, Jesus set an example for us to follow in servitude and humility. He called us to be servant leaders, to give our lives as a daily offering to Him, and to embody the humility that is a hallmark of Christ.

The sermon concluded with a call to action. We are to come to Jesus, confess our sins, and accept His sacrifice and servanthood. In doing so, we are healed from our sins and promised eternal life in a place free from sin, suffering, sadness, or separation—a place of peace and perfection.

Key Takeaways:

- Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet, even the feet of His betrayer, Judas, is a powerful demonstration of love that transcends betrayal and hurt. It challenges us to love and serve others, even when they may not reciprocate or may even harm us. This kind of love is a reflection of Jesus' unconditional love for us. [12:31]

- The concept of spiritual cleansing, as illustrated by Jesus washing the disciples' feet, is a reminder that while salvation cleanses us once and for all, we must continually seek Jesus for the cleansing of our daily sins. This ongoing process of repentance and forgiveness is essential for maintaining a close relationship with God. [17:27]

- Jesus' question to His disciples, "Do you understand what I've done for you?" invites us to continually reflect on the depth of His teachings and actions. Understanding leads to blessing, as Jesus promised that we would be blessed if we do what He has taught us. This understanding should transform our lives and inspire us to live out His example of servitude. [20:14]

- The humility of Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself and became obedient to death on a cross, sets the ultimate example for us. Our attitude should mirror that of Christ, embracing humility and obedience, even in the face of suffering or death. [21:40]

- The fulfillment of the Passover through Jesus, the Lamb of God, emphasizes the completeness of His sacrifice. As the Passover lamb's blood protected the Israelites, so does the blood of Christ offer us protection and deliverance from sin and death. This understanding should deepen our gratitude and commitment to living a life that honors His sacrifice. [07:52]

Day 1: Love Transcends Betrayal
In a world rife with betrayal and hurt, the act of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples, including Judas, stands as a testament to a love that goes beyond human understanding. This selfless act was not just a lesson in humility; it was a demonstration of how to love unconditionally. Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, yet He chose to serve him nonetheless. This challenges every believer to examine how they love others, especially those who may not seem deserving. It's a call to embody a love that doesn't keep a record of wrongs but instead chooses to serve and forgive, mirroring the love Christ has for each person.

The love Jesus showed is not passive; it is active and engaging. It requires one to step out of their comfort zone and into the messy, often painful reality of others. It's about washing the feet of our betrayers, offering kindness to those who have wronged us, and forgiving endlessly as we have been forgiven. This kind of love is radical; it transforms hearts and relationships and ultimately reflects the heart of God to the world. [12:31]

John 13:14-15 (ESV)
"If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you."

Reflection: Who is the 'Judas' in your life that God is calling you to serve and love today, and what is one tangible way you can show them Christ's love?

Day 2: Continual Cleansing in Christ
Salvation through Christ is a one-time divine act of grace, yet the journey with Him involves a daily return to the wellspring of forgiveness. Jesus washing the disciples' feet is a poignant illustration of the ongoing need for spiritual cleansing. As believers walk through life, they encounter the 'dirt' of sin, which necessitates a continual process of repentance and restoration. This daily return to Jesus for cleansing is not a sign of weakness but an acknowledgment of the constant need for His grace and mercy.

This process keeps one's relationship with God fresh and alive. It's about coming to Jesus with the stains of daily life and allowing Him to renew and purify. It's a humble admission that without His cleansing, one cannot stand righteous before God. This ongoing sanctification is a vital aspect of the Christian walk, ensuring that one remains in close communion with the Savior. [17:27]

1 John 1:9 (ESV)
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Reflection: What 'dirt' has accumulated in your life that you need to bring before Jesus for cleansing, and how can you make this act of repentance a daily practice?

Day 3: Understanding Leads to Blessing
"Do you understand what I've done for you?" Jesus asked His disciples. This question extends through the ages, prompting believers to reflect on the depth of His teachings and actions. Understanding the full extent of Jesus' servitude is not just an intellectual exercise; it is the gateway to living a blessed life. It is about grasping the heart of servanthood, embracing the call to serve others as Jesus did, and finding joy in the imitation of Christ.

The blessing comes in the doing, not just the knowing. As followers of Christ internalize His teachings and exemplify them in their lives, they experience the profound peace and joy that comes from walking in obedience. This understanding is transformative, shaping one's character and actions to align with the heart of God. [20:14]

Philippians 2:5-7 (ESV)
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."

Reflection: How can you embody Jesus' example of servitude in your daily interactions, and what is one specific action you can take today to serve someone else?

Day 4: The Ultimate Example of Humility
Jesus, though divine, did not cling to His status but chose to humble Himself, even to the point of death on a cross. This humility is the ultimate example for believers to follow. It is a call to lay aside pride, embrace servanthood, and be obedient to God's will, regardless of personal cost. This humility is not about self-degradation; it is about recognizing one's rightful place before God and others and acting accordingly.

Embracing this humility leads to a life marked by grace and strength. It is in humbling oneself that a believer truly finds their identity in Christ. This humility is not weakness; it is the very essence of Christ's strength, which He demonstrated through His life, death, and resurrection. It is the path to true discipleship and the mark of a life surrendered to God. [21:40]

Philippians 2:8-9 (ESV)
"And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name."

Reflection: In what ways can you practice humility in your life, and how can this humility change your approach to challenges and relationships?

Day 5: The Completeness of Christ's Sacrifice
The Passover lamb in the Old Testament was a shadow of the ultimate sacrifice to come—Jesus, the Lamb of God. His death on the cross was the fulfillment of the Passover, offering protection and deliverance from sin and death. This sacrifice was complete, once for all, and it invites believers to live in the fullness of the freedom and grace it provides. Understanding the magnitude of this sacrifice should stir a deep sense of gratitude and a commitment to live a life that honors what Jesus has done.

The blood of Christ not only cleanses but also seals believers in a covenant of life and peace. It is a reminder that no matter what one faces in this life, they are covered by the sacrificial love of Jesus. This understanding should shape every aspect of a believer's life, from their choices to their relationships, all reflecting the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. [07:52]

1 Corinthians 5:7b (ESV)
"For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."

Reflection: How does the understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb influence your daily life, and what are practical ways you can honor His sacrifice?

"Jesus knew that the father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God... he poured water into a basin and begun to wash his disciples feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. Jesus the King of Kings the Lord of lords, Jesus washed their feet, yes, and he also washed the feet of Judas Iscariot." [13:49](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Jesus said, 'unless I wash you, you have no part with me.' Then Peter... went from one extreme to the other, 'then Lord, not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!' Jesus was speaking of spiritual matters... 'those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.'" [15:21](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord is cleansed from sin, washed in the blood of the Lamb, cleansed from sin once and for all, that is salvation... But no matter how hard we try, we continue to sin in our daily walk with God... we need to keep coming back to Jesus in Repentance." [16:42](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Jesus the teacher was teaching and he implored them to remember... here he was teaching the need for humility, here he was teaching the need for servitude... 'no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.' Know that you know these things, you'll be blessed if you do them." [20:14](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Here is the servant King who calls you now to follow him, to give your life as a daily offering to the servant King... 'He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.' So here is our servant King who stepped down from heaven and became like us." [21:40](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Jesus, the Spotless Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world, here he was soon to die on the cross of Calvary... Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Passover Lamb... 'Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.'" [07:52](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"Jesus would love them and Jesus would love us even to the end. So then, friends, Jesus our Passover Lamb was sacrificed for the sins of the world, taking the punishment that you and I deserve for our sin... 'He was led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.'" [08:32](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

"By his sacrifice and by his servanthood, loving his followers to the very end... He loved you and he gave himself for you. He came for you, so now you need to come to him, you need to confess your sin to Jesus... and if you do, he will hear you and he will heal you from all your sin." [25:51](Make clip | Crop for social media | Crop + Caption)

He was met by a large crowd waving palm branches. People threw their cloaks across his path, and they cried out with joy, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

So over the next few days, then, Jesus, having cleared the Temple of money changers, taught in the Temple and healed the blind and the lame. But all the while, opposition was mounting against Jesus. The chief priests and the leaders of the people were intent on harming Jesus, putting him to death, though they really were struggling to find a way to do this because of the crowds that followed Jesus, especially at this time of Passover in Jerusalem.

And remember, Jesus had directed two of his disciples, Peter and John, towards a particular house in the city. There they were to go to a large upper room. They were led there, and notice here that Jesus would share the Passover meal, the Last Supper, with his disciples. It was here that he would teach them the important lesson of servitude, and it's here that Jesus would speak of his betrayal.

So, two headings today: sacrifice and servant.

Right at the very beginning, verse 1, we read that it was just before the Passover Festival. So let's understand what the Passover Festival was. Since the time of the Exodus, the Feast of Passover was celebrated by Israel as a reminder of the Lord's deliverance and protection through the final plague. Remember the final plague of the death of the firstborn child? At that time, the head of each family was to choose a lamb, a lamb without defect, and that lamb was to be slaughtered on the 14th day of the month at twilight.

And some of its blood, remember, was to be placed on the sides and the tops of the door frames. And there the Lord proclaimed, "For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout all your generations as a statute forever. You shall keep it as a feast."

So we're told then it was just before the Passover Festival, and we read on: Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. He knew it, having loved his own who were in the world; he loved them to the end.

So here is Jesus, the Spotless Lamb of God, who came to take away the sins of the world. Here he was, soon to die on the cross of Calvary, and the cries of "Hosanna! Hosanna!" would soon turn to "Crucify! Crucify!"

So Jesus is the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb of the Passover Festival celebrated since the time of the Exodus. Remember, John the Baptist prophetically said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." And remember the words of the apostle to the church: "For Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed."

So Jesus would love them, and Jesus would love us even to the end. So then, friends, Jesus, our Passover Lamb, was sacrificed for the sins of the world, taking the punishment that you and I deserve for our sin. The prophet Isaiah tells us that he was afflicted and oppressed, yet he did not open his mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

The Bible says Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sin of many. The Bible says without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. The Bible says if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. The Bible says in him, that's in Jesus, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God's grace.

We often sing, "What can wash away my sin?" And you know the answer: "Nothing but the blood of Jesus." God can make us whole again—nothing but the blood of Jesus.

So we need to ask the question: Have you been washed? Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb? Have you trusted in Jesus for salvation? If not, you can come today, and you can confess your sins to him today, and you can accept Jesus as your personal Savior.

Don't be like Judas, who was part of the group who sat with them in the upper room, yet Judas would reject Jesus. For we read there in verse 2, "The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him."

And in Luke's gospel, we read that now the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the twelve, and Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the law, the Temple guard, and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted and agreed to give him money, and he consented and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

So Judas was biding his time. Judas was watching Jesus, but Jesus was watching Judas. Early in the gospel, we read what Jesus said to his disciples: "Did I not choose you, the twelve? But one of you is a devil." And that's why what happens next is so astonishing. Jesus says, "I know one of you is a devil," but here Jesus, the Servant King, would kneel before his friends, and the one who was a devil, the one who was his enemy—his friend became his enemy.

The Psalm says, "It wasn't an enemy who lifted his heel against me; it was my own familiar friend, one I broke bread with." Betrayal. And we'll look at that more next week.

Here is Jesus in a great display of humility and love to his disciples.

So, the sacrifice and now the servant. Verse 3: Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power. He had all things under his power and that he had come from God and that he was returning to God. Remember that great High Priestly prayer: "Father, give me the glory that I had with you before the world was" (John 17).

Now, in those days, people wore open sandals as they walked about, and the roads were very dry and dusty. So it was customary for a servant or a slave to wash the feet of those gathering for a meal. Here, however, there wasn't a servant present, and the disciples appeared to have skipped protocol and gone straight to the supper. It seemed no one was willing to take the lowly position of a servant to wash the feet, to undertake this menial task.

But here Jesus is in this situation, and he's going to teach about servitude, humility, and sin. He got up from the meal, verse 4. He took off his outer clothing, he wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Jesus, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Jesus washed their feet. Yes, and he also washed the feet of Judas Iscariot, whose heart had been given over to Satan.

Now only Peter protested, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" He evidently thought it should be the other way around. Jesus answered him, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

Perhaps later Peter would realize what Jesus had meant when he said, "The Son of Man has come not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." But at this point, Peter was adamant: "No, you shall never wash my feet!"

Jesus said, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." Then Peter, being the impetuous Peter, went from one extreme to the other, crying out, "Then, Lord, not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"

Peter was confused, but you see, Jesus was speaking of spiritual matters. He said, verse 10, "Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean, and you are clean, though not every one of you." For he knew who was going to betray him, and that is why he said, "Not everyone was clean."

So let's unpack that just for a moment; it might be confusing. So Peter and the others present, apart from Judas Iscariot, had come to accept Jesus as Lord. Okay, everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord is cleansed from sin, washed in the blood of the Lamb, cleansed from sin once and for all. That is salvation.

And this is what Jesus spoke of when he said to his disciples, apart from Judas, "Your whole body is clean." The cleansing of sin awaits all who come to trust in Jesus for salvation. Yes, even you. Yes, even me.

But no matter how hard we try, we continue to sin in our daily walk with God. Our feet get dirty, if we can use the analogy here that Jesus is pointing to. So in that case, we need to keep coming back to Jesus in repentance, and that's why he said, "Your feet need cleaning."

Remember what the Bible says in 1 John 1: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sin, he, Jesus, is faithful and just and will forgive us our sin and will purify us from all unrighteousness."

So today, Christian, washed in the blood of the Lamb, what dirt have you picked up this week? What's clinging to you that you need to get rid of? You know, our daily walk—sin that stains, the sin that so easily besets us, the sin that makes us unclean.

So our daily wash, then, is confessing our sins—our sins of word, thought, action. We need to confess them to Jesus, who ever lives to intercede for us. And you know he hears our confession, and he delights to hear us come to him, confessing our need of him. And when he hears us, he cleanses us anew.

So, Christian, if you need to confess a sin today, do it now before your Lord and your God. Pray, because he hears, and he can help.

So, verse 12: As he sat back at the table, Jesus inquired of them, "Do you understand what I have done for you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."

So Jesus, the Teacher, was teaching, and he implored them to remember. He had implored them, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me," the Teacher. And here he was teaching the need for humility. Here he was teaching the need for servitude.

And here he continued, "Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them."

And this reminds us of his words elsewhere: "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last and the servant of all."

So the best leaders serve—servant leaders. You see that even in business; so many people have copied what Jesus is teaching here: servitude and humility.

So here is the Servant King who calls you to follow him, to give your life as a daily offering to the Servant King. You see, humility is a hallmark of Christ. He is a great example. The Bible says, "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross."

So here is our Servant King who stepped down from heaven and became like us. And here the Servant King steps down from the table and goes on his knees and washes the feet of the disciples.

"From heaven you came, helpless babe, entered our world, your glory revealed, not to be served but to serve and give your life that we might live."

So friends, Jesus is the ultimate example for servitude. Jesus gave his life so that we might live. Greater love, he said, has no man than this, than he lay down his life for his friends. "You are my friends if you do what I command."

He is the Passover Lamb, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus is the suffering servant whom God spoke through the prophet Isaiah.

And we finish with this: "See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted." Just as there were many who were appalled at his appearance, so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness, he was beaten into a pulp.

"So he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. Surely he took our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to his own way, and the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearer is silent, yet he did not open his mouth."

Jesus is the suffering servant. Jesus, the King who rode on a donkey into Jerusalem, is the same Jesus who is here today.

And we sing, "Glory to the King of Kings!" We sing, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" This is the Lord Jesus Christ who came to save you from your sins.

And by his sacrifice and by his servanthood, loving his followers to the very end, "Lo, I am with you even to the end of the age." He loved you, and he gave himself for you. He came for you.

So now you need to come to him. You need to confess your sin to Jesus. You need to cry out to Jesus right now, and if you do, he will hear you, and he will heal you from all your sin.

And he will one day come again and take you to the place that he's prepared for you—a place where there will be no more sin, or suffering, or sadness, or separation; a place of peace and perfection where he will wipe every tear from your eye.

So come! This is the time to worship. Come! This is the time to give your heart to God.

Come, Lord Jesus.

Let us pray.

Lord, we thank you that you're here. We thank you for the peace of this moment. We thank you for your presence. We thank you, Lord, that all of us Christians may be confessing sin today. People may be here today, Lord, who haven't come to you yet.

This is the day that the Lord has made; we rejoice and are glad in it. And we pray all things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.

Appropriately, let's sing.
