Read through John 13:4-38.
This was no sweet tender moment, Jesus was making a social statement…mounting a protest against individualism, and self-protection.
He says...you’re no better than me…you do this too!
• This is the way followers of mine from now on will be defined.
• This is how you will now approach the needs of others.
• This is now your permanent posture – on your hands and your knees.
• This is how you face a world of pain, hatred, and loneliness.
• This is how you approach humanity.
Let’s try to look at this through Peter’s eyes…questions to ask:
• Am I full of myself?
• Am I capable of betraying Jesus?
• Could I come under the influence of Satan?
• Am I strong enough to stay true to Jesus and not deny him?
• Can I stand against culture and take the posture of a slave to other human beings?
• Am I willing and able to ingest Jesus into the fiber of my being? And in so doing set aside long held religious views and traditions?
• Is your idea of Jesus revolutionary enough? Is he outrageous enough to match this scene?
• As you stand with Peter how would you answer his own questions?
