JESUS SAID, THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN THE MASTER

John 13 Jesus got up from the supper table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his loins, poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him. When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Master, you shouldn’t be washing our feet like this!” Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now why I am doing it; some day you will.” “No,” Peter protested, “you shall never wash my feet!” But if I don’t, you can’t be my partner,” Jesus replied. Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well not just my feet!” Jesus replied, “One who has bathed all over needs only to have his feet washed to be entirely clean. Now you are clean but that isn’t true of everyone here.” For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.” After washing their feet he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Master’ and ‘Lord,’ and you do well to say it, for it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow: do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than his master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends him. FRIENDS, JESUS COMPLETED HIS PURPOSE ON THE EARTH TO SAVE THE LOST. HIS DISCIPLES ALSO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR CHRIST. BUT JESUS SAID DON'T WORRY, FOR I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
