JESUS WASHES THE
DISCIPLES’ FEET
LESSON TEXT—John 13:3-15, 34. 35.
MEMORY SELECTION—A new com
mandment I give unto you, that ye love
.one another; as I have loved you. that ye
also love one another. —John 13:34.
On the eve of his crucifixion our
Lord gave to his followers a striking
example of how true humility shows
itself in service to others.
Almost in the shadow of the cross
the disciples had fallen into an ar
gument about which of them should
be greatest. Christ showed them
the way of true greatness by an act
of menial service, giving them an
example for their own lives, a pat
tern of love.
I. Action (vv. 3-11).
He who was about to wash his dis
ciples feet was fully conscious who
he was, whence he came, what his
power was, and where he was going.
Verse 3 gives us a clear view of
our Lord’s knowledge of himself as
divine, sent by the Father and to
return to him. He was conscious
that he was King of kings and Lord
of lords—all things had been put
into his hands.
What followed would seem to be
a mistake—a misfit in the pattern of
the life of a being so great as the
one described in verse 3—except for
the fact that it was Jesus of
whom it was said.
He knew that real greatness
proves itself in the ability to stoop
if need be to minister to the hum
blest need. It was just like Jesus to
take the place of the servant. It is
just like him to do the loving,
thoughtful, compassionate thing for
us today.
Peter’s impulsive refusal to be
washed enabled the Lord to teach
him, and us, a needed lesson. The
one who had come clean and well
groomed to the feast needed only to
have the dust of the road cleansed
from his sandaled feet.
Just so the one who has been
cleansed from his sins by the blood
of Christ returns daily for the
cleansing of the stains and soil of
the journey through this wicked
world. We must remember that this
constant cleansing (I John 1:7) is
necessary. It is not enough to make
a decision for Christ and receive
salvation; we need his daily grace
for daily living,
11. Example (vv. 12-15).
When he resumed his place at the
table, Jesus faced a humbled and
ashamed group of men ready to
have driven home to their hearts
, the powerful meaning of the exam
ple which had been set before them.
They called him Lord and Mas
ter, and he agreed that they were
, right. Now he had set them a pat
tern of lowly service. They had al
ready sensed the rebuke involved,
so he stressed only the positive side,
the need for them to do what he had
done.
It is one thing to understand what
has been taught, it is another thing
to put it into practice. Jesus con
ditioned his blessing on the doing,
rather than the hearing (see vv. 16,
17).
We are told in James 1:22 that
the one who is a hearer of the
Word and not a doer of it is self
deceived. He is fooling himself
about his supposed spiritual prog
ress. God is not deceived by it, and
usually his fellow men are not de
ceived by his profession of what he
does not have. How sad then to go
on deceiving himself and how fool
ish.
111. Command (w. 34, 35).
It is really not a matter of choice
for the believer whether he will live
in the light of this great example—
it is a commandment of God. Oh,
yes, it is a commandment of love,
but that makes it not less but more
binding on us who believe in Christ.
By act and example he set before
his disciples the great and new
commandment of love, expressing it
self in lovinug service.
The measure of our love for our
brethren is the love of Christ Jesus.
That love, we all agree, was without
limit, unbelievably great, inex
pressibly tender, infinite in its pur
pose and power.
We cannot measure up to it. What
then shall we do? Surely we must
give to our very limit and beyond
that limit by God’s grace, of our
love for one another. Nothing less
will do, if we are to keep his com
mandment.
Such love between Christian breth
ren has always been the most ef
fective kind of testimony for Christ.
As men see true and sacrificial love
shown between Christians, they are
drawn to Christ and hhe church.
The opposite is also true. Divi
sions and strife among believers
quickly become known to the world,
and are always a ground for scorn
ful rejection of the truth which the
church professes to believe and is
asking the world to accept. We can
not effectively apply the gospel rem
edy (and it is the only remedy!) to
a strife-torn world while we are en
gaged in unlovely battles with one
another. “By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples," said
Jesus, "if ye have love one for an
other."

STATE CAPITOL
Consideration of the sales tax as
a means of producing sufficient re
venue to pay teachers the promised
50 % raise and provide other ser
vices promised by candidates in last

measure is definitely in for tough
sledding.

Governor who would select the
judge from the three.

it adds organic matter and nitrogen
