1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,720 What a what a celebration today. What an opportunity to worship 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,160 and praise God. He's good, isn't he? 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,400 Are you glad to be here? All right, I got about four 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,560 weeks of sermons that we're going to get in about 25 minutes 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,400 today. And so let's let's get after my 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,600 question to you is this, What would you do for the people you 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,560 love? I want you to think about that. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,280 Maybe, maybe it's your kids or your friends. 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,800 What, what links would you go to? 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,320 I remember when I was a kid, and I know I've told this story 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,000 before, but I've been preaching here for 10 years, a decade now. 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000 So you're going to hear some of the stories over and over again. 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400 So stick with me here. But I remember when I was a kid, 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,160 I was born here in Westchester and lived here till I was 7. 15 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:51,800 And when I was 7, my dad was a pastor and my mom and dad felt 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,760 that God was calling us to move to Texas, the Dallas area of 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,600 Texas. Now I had some really good 18 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,080 friends here. I had three really close friends 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,239 and I'd I just really struggled with that move. 20 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:06,880 We got to Texas. I had a really hard time, just 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,000 really missed my friends that I was close to. 22 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,720 And I'll never forget my dad knew I was struggling. 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440 I was in second grade. I mean, I wasn't, I was just a 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,720 little kid in second grade. But my dad knew I was 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,840 struggling. And he said one day he, he came 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,440 home from work and he knew how hard I was taking that move. 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,280 And he said, I knew you were struggling. 28 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,840 And I had I had made-up my mind that whatever you needed, 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840 whatever you wanted, I was going to do. 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,520 He said, I really thought I was going to come home and I was 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,600 going to ask you what you wanted. 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800 And you were going to say, I want to go back to Ohio and I 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,920 want to hang out with my friends. 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,160 And my dad said, I was ready to get in the car and drive you to 35 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560 Ohio so you can see your friends. 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,440 What would you do for the people you love? 37 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Today we're going to be looking at the servant King and, and, 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,520 and we're in this series the King we need the the king. 39 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,800 We often think we know what's best for us. 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,920 We often think we know what we need in a leader. 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,800 But what we're looking at in this series is that Jesus is not 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,280 the king that we necessarily want or the king we think we 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,680 need. Jesus is the king that we 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 actually need. And today we're talking about 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,600 Jesus, the servant King. And so we're going to be in John 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,400 chapter 13. Last week we took communion 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600 together. Today this we're looking at the 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,960 same time frame, Jesus with his disciples and his Last Supper 49 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,960 together in the upper room. And so we're in John chapter 13. 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Would you stand with me and honor God's word? 51 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,920 And we stand because we believe God wants to speak to us through 52 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:46,080 his word. Even though it was written a 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,960 long time ago, we believe that God inspired it, inspired people 54 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,520 to write it, and that it's meant not just for the people of that 55 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,600 day, but for us today. And we believe that God wants to 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,080 speak to us. So we stand and honor that. 57 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,280 When I read John chapter 13, verse one through 17, it says it 58 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,360 was just before the Passover festival. 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,520 The hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Father, having loved his own who were in the world. 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,560 He loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress 62 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,680 and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon 63 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Iscariot to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,720 put all things under his feet and that he had come from God 65 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,600 and was returning to God. So he got up from the meal, he 66 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,240 took off his outer clothing and he wrapped a towel around his 67 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,840 waist. After that he poured water into 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,240 a basin and he began to wash his disciples feet, drying them with 69 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,160 the towel he had wrapped around his that was wrapped around him. 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,760 He came to Simon Peter who said to him, Lord, are you going to 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,640 wash my feet? Jesus replied, that you do not 72 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880 realize what I'm doing, but later you will understand. 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,920 No, said Peter, you shall never wash my feet. 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,960 And Jesus answered, unless I wash you, you have no part with 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,880 me. Then, Lord, Simon Peter replied, 76 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560 not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well. 77 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Jesus answered, those who have had a bath need only to wash 78 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,000 their feet. Their whole body is clean, and 79 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,079 you are clean, though not everyone of you. 80 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,360 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that that was 81 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,880 why he said not everyone was clean. 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,800 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his 83 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,440 clothes and returned to his place. 84 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,040 Do you understand what I've done for you? 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,640 He asked them. You call me Teacher and Lord, 86 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,680 and rightly so, for that is what I am. 87 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,160 Now that I, your teacher, your Lord and Teacher have washed 88 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,720 your feet, you should also You also should wash one another's 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080 feet. I have set you an example that 90 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,920 you should do as I have done for you. 91 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:57,920 Very truly. I tell him, now that you know 92 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,280 these things, you will be blessed if you do them. 93 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,600 You can have a seat. So this this text kicks off the 94 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,880 upper room discourse. This happens. 95 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,680 It's Jesus last meal with his disciples. 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040 It's the Passover meal together with his disciples. 97 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,600 And, and this is happening around or a little bit less than 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,360 24 hours away from when Jesus will be dying on a cross. 99 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,200 And so Jesus gathers with his disciples. 100 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,800 There's four things we see in this text. 101 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,520 And, and these are real simple things, but but they're 102 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,800 important things. Number one is the reason he does 103 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,240 what he does #2 is the action that he does #3 is the result of 104 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,880 what he does. And #4 is the directive. 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,040 And so we're going to work through this. 106 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,680 I mean, he's gathered with his disciples #1 the reason verses 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520 one through 3 show us the reason that Jesus does what he does. 108 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,800 It says it was just before the Passover festival. 109 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,040 Jesus knew. Guys, let this sink in. 110 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,320 and go to the Father. Having loved His own who were in 112 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 the world, He loved them to the end. 113 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,760 The reason that Jesus did what He did in John 13, the reason 114 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:24,240 that Jesus ultimately went to the cross for our sins, is love. 115 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Having loved His own, He loved them to the end. 116 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Two things we see in the in the first part of this text #1 Jesus 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,880 knew it was his time. He knew that he was within 24 118 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,840 hours of being handed over to to the authorities and being 119 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,040 crucified. He didn't just know that his 120 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,720 time had come to leave this world. 121 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,520 He knew that his time had come to die on a cross, a criminal's 122 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,760 death. He knew what was coming. 123 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Does that not blow your mind that we're 24 hours from Jesus, 124 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,440 knowing that he's going to die an excruciating death and he 125 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,760 gathers with his disciples in the upper room. 126 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,160 He spends his time with the people he loves. 127 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840 What would you do if you thought if you knew you had 24 hours 128 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680 left? Would you have a bucket list? 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,120 Would you have a meal that you'd want to have? 130 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920 Would you just want to be with the people that matter? 131 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,560 Jesus spent his last time with the people that he loved. 132 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,400 And so the main motivation for Jesus loving and serving his 133 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,640 people and ultimately going to the cross is love. 134 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400 He loves them. Guys, I've got good news today. 135 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Jesus loves you. And in his last moments before 136 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480 going to the cross, he spent time with the people that he 137 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,760 loved. And I know that you're saying, 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,600 well, I wasn't there, but I want you to know that Jesus knows you 139 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,120 and loves you. And, and if he were here today, 140 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,400 I believe he would want to serve you and wash your feet because 141 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,840 he loves you. The second thing we see is in 142 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960 verse 3, it says Jesus knew that the Father had put all things 143 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840 under his feet. So #1 he knew that he was about 144 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,760 to die an excruciating death on the cross for our sins, but #2 145 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,440 he knew that he was all powerful. 146 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,440 He knew that the Father God had given him all authority and 147 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,480 power. Everything was under his feet. 148 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:31,160 And so he is not just a king, He's the King of kings. 149 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,159 He is the Messiah. He is the one. 150 00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:37,640 If there was ever a person on this earth that shouldn't have 151 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,559 had to serve others, if there was ever a person on this earth 152 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120 that that should have thought they were above others, it was 153 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,400 Jesus Christ. God had put all things under His 154 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,280 feet. Yet what did he do? 155 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,400 We're going to see this in #2 He. 156 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,880 He took action. He served them, says He loved 157 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640 them. He loved them to the end. 158 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,360 This is the end of His time before He goes to the cross. 159 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,480 What does He do? He spends His time loving and 160 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,320 serving His disciples. So #2 the action verse 3. 161 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things on. 162 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880 He had come from God and was returning to God. 163 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,120 So what did He do? He got up from the meal. 164 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,080 He took off his outer clothing. He wrapped a towel around his 165 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,560 waist. After that, he poured water into 166 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,680 a basin and began to wash His disciples feet, drying them with 167 00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,480 the towel that was wrapped around him. 168 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,720 And he came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, are you going 169 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,440 to wash my feet? See, this is an incredible thing 170 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,880 that happens. We don't do a lot of foot 171 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,080 washing in our culture. How many of you are thankful for 172 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920 that? OK, some of you, some of you 173 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,440 probably are really grossed out. In fact, I thought about just 174 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,280 putting, you know, a chair in a water basin here just so that 175 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,840 you would be nervous and think he might call me up. 176 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,080 But I didn't want you to be listening in anxiety. 177 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,720 But but the action is Jesus washed his disciples feet. 178 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Now this is a big deal guys. The last verse we read there he 179 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920 came to Simon Peter who was the outspoken 1. 180 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,640 He always said what he thought and Simon Peter said are you 181 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,920 going to wash my feet? And he goes on to say, no way. 182 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,920 Why? Because this was a lowly thing 183 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240 that Jesus did. This was one of the lowest tasks 184 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360 you could do. He humbled himself to the place 185 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,960 of a servant. It says that number one, Jesus 186 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,080 knew he was going to the cross. He knew his hour had come to 187 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,960 leave this earth. He knew what was coming #2 He 188 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,720 knew that everything was under his feet. 189 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,360 He was above all. He was the King of kings, He was 190 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,000 the Messiah, He was the Savior. So what did he do? 191 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,800 Took off his outer garments, wrapped a towel around his waist 192 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,160 and did a lowly job of a certain not just a servant, the lowest 193 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,480 servant. Most houses had multiple 194 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,400 servants, and only the lowest servants would wash the feet of 195 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,520 the people. This is an audacious act. 196 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,480 This is this is crazy. But the king of kings who's 197 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,920 headed to the cross, humbles himself, washes the disciples 198 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,880 feet. Have you ever had to do 199 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,120 something that you really were uncomfortable with? 200 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,840 Have you ever had to had to serve someone or do something 201 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,760 that just. I think it's safe for me to 202 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,960 share this story at this point. Over a decade ago, probably well 203 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480 over a decade ago, we got a call at the church. 204 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,040 Being a pastor means sometimes we get put in situations that 205 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,080 are uncomfortable. We got a call from somebody. 206 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,680 She was a lady and and she was staying at what I call the cat 207 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,120 Cemetery. You now know it is Texas 208 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Roadhouse. Does that make you hungry? 209 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,280 We're going to go a little over today, so I figured I'd kill 210 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,720 your hunger a little bit. There we go. 211 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,920 Well, the reason I call, I call it that is because she said, 212 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,920 hey, I'm in a tough situation. I've got cats and I'm being 213 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,720 kicked out and I need to get from here to Middletown and I 214 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,480 need my cats to go with me. Can you please come and pick up 215 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,400 my cats and take me and my cats to Middletown? 216 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,320 How many of you have ever been, you know, asked to take a person 217 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,560 in cats to Middletown? Anyone not OK. 218 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:40,640 All right, not, not, not my, not necessarily in my job 219 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,440 description. It's not in there. 220 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,920 I've looked, but I had a choice. What do I do? 221 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,200 It's all I went over and I went to, if you don't know, before 222 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,880 this was Texas Roadhouse over here. 223 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,880 It was a motel. And I went over and she had a 224 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,000 couple cats in the room and and a smell hit me that I was not 225 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:11,600 ready for a cat smell. You guys know cats and, and so 226 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,920 I, we got the cats into the cage, picked up the cage and put 227 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,200 it in the back of my truck. And, and I mean, I'm just 228 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,560 telling you, I was so uncomfortable and I, my hand, I 229 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:26,120 kept smelling and I smelled my hand and I was like, Oh my word. 230 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,000 And I washed my hand so many times that day and it, it 231 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,600 wouldn't come out. And I'm, I'm just telling you it 232 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,360 was, it was an uncomfortable place. 233 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,280 And I'm not saying this to put anyone down or anything. 234 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,040 I'm just saying sometimes you're put in a position where you may 235 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,200 have to do something uncomfortable, something that's 236 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,160 not in your job description. You've been there, haven't you? 237 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,160 Right. Here's what I want you to 238 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,400 understand that Jesus 24 hours from being crucified on a cross 239 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,480 for our sins. Jesus knowing that the Father 240 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:06,480 had put all things under his feet, chose to do the lowest 241 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,400 servant job and wash the disciples feet. 242 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,720 He wasn't forced to. Nobody asked him to, He chose 243 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,920 to. Why #1 love. 244 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,800 He loved his disciples and He was showing them His love and He 245 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,400 was setting His example. And in Matthew chapter 20 it 246 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,080 says, Jesus says, instead, whoever wants to become great 247 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,600 among you must be your servant. Whoever wants to be first must 248 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,080 be your slave. Just as the Son of Man did not 249 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,200 come to be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom 250 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,640 for many, Jesus is showing us what it looks like to love and 251 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,160 to serve others. He's not, It's not. 252 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,120 This isn't a show. This isn't, hey, get the cameras 253 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,000 out. Let's get the press ready so 254 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,680 everyone can see me do that. This wasn't about show. 255 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:05,920 This was about Jesus loving his disciples and in that showing 256 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,160 them what it looks like to love others. 257 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,000 What did Jesus do? He humbled himself to the lowest 258 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,320 place. He washed the feed that brought 259 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,760 on this interesting conversation. 260 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,520 And that leads to the result #3 Peter said, hey, are you going 261 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,480 to wash my feet? And Gia says you don't 262 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,040 understand what I'm doing. And Peter says absolutely not, 263 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,840 You're not washing my feet. Never, never. 264 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,680 Are you going to wash my feet? Now that sounds mean, but but 265 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,640 Peter's coming from a good place here. 266 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,120 See, See Peter's thinking you're Jesus, you're the Messiah. 267 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,600 In fact, Peter's already said this. 268 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,880 Jesus asked him at one point, hey, who am I? 269 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,240 And Peter said, you're the Messiah, you're the Son of God. 270 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,680 And so Peter knows exactly who Jesus is and what what he's 271 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,640 saying here is there's no way that you, the King of kings, the 272 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,080 Messiah, the Son of God, there's no way I can let you wash my 273 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,120 feet, my dirty feet. Are you uncomfortable with 274 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480 people helping you out? Serving you? 275 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,920 I think it might be more uncomfortable to have your feet 276 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,800 washed than to wash someone else's feet. 277 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,480 And Peter's saying absolutely not. 278 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,000 It doesn't work that way, Jesus. No, no, we're supposed to serve 279 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,960 you. We're supposed to do the good 280 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,680 things for you because you're the Messiah, you're the king, 281 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,040 and we serve the King. And so no way you're going to 282 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,600 wash my feet. And Jesus responds and he says, 283 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:43,440 Unless I wash you, you have no part with me giving us a picture 284 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400 of something here. He's washing their feet. 285 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,440 He's humbling himself, serving them as a picture that he loves 286 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,480 them. But ultimately it's a picture of 287 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,680 a bigger reality that Jesus is going to a cross. 288 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,320 He's going to die on the cross, a criminal's death to pay the 289 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,960 price for our sins. And what he's saying here is, if 290 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,240 you can't accept me washing your feet, how can you ever accept 291 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,280 the free grace, the the scandalous grace of the cross 292 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:21,680 that you've sinned and you've fallen short and I'm going to go 293 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,400 die on a cross to pay for it. And so he says, unless I wash 294 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,800 you, you have no place with me. Guys, we, we get this wrong all 295 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,360 the time. I think if we were all being 296 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,760 honest, we would say we, we struggle with this, that 297 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,160 sometimes we think, hey, I've got to get myself lovable. 298 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,600 I've got to make myself worthy. I hear this from people all the 299 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,200 time. Oh, I can't go to church. 300 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,680 You don't understand what I've done, where I've been. 301 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,520 I can't go to church. No, no, I'll be, I'll be struck 302 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,680 by lightning. And we think and even in the 303 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,760 church, even people that have been in the church for 40-50 304 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,440 years sometimes struggle with this. 305 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,320 We think we've got to do things to earn our salvation and our 306 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,360 love from God. What Jesus is saying here is no, 307 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:18,720 no, no, no, I'm humbling myself and I'm washing your feet and 308 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:24,680 unless I wash your feet, you can't be clean. 309 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,160 Guys, this is really important and and I hope we all understand 310 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,880 this, the only way to be cleansed, the only way to be 311 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,240 clean, the only way to salvation is to be washed by Jesus. 312 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:47,640 Unless I wash you, you have no place for me or with me. 313 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,480 And so the result is Jesus is washing their feet. 314 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,240 He's showing them a picture of the bigger reality that the way 315 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,080 they are saved, the way they are washed, the way they are 316 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:04,280 cleansed is through his gift, his love, his grace. 317 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,880 Then we have this back and forth where Peter says, well, OK, all 318 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,400 right, Jesus, you got me. Well, in that case, don't just 319 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,080 wash my feet though. Wash all of me. 320 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,440 Wash my hands, wash my head, wash it all. 321 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,600 Jesus. No, no, no, hold on. 322 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,800 If you've bathed, if you're clean, you only need to have 323 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,600 your feet washed. What Jesus is talking about here 324 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,760 is another picture he's trying to show us a picture of daily 325 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,480 repentance that when you have a bath, you don't have to 326 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,160 constantly be washed, but you're, you're clean. 327 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,600 But if you walk around, especially in this day, your 328 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,640 feet are going to get dirty. And So what Jesus is showing us 329 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840 is that what as we walk through life, we need to constantly, 330 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,560 daily be repenting. But ultimately, His salvation is 331 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,880 a gift that we receive and we are saved and we just need the 332 00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:00,960 daily surrender and repentance to have our feet washed, to be 333 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,440 clean. The only way to be cleaned, to 334 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800 be cleansed is through Jesus. That leads to the 4th part. 335 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,040 So let's just recap really quick. 336 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Number one, why did Jesus do this? 337 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,960 Because He loved his disciples. And he loves you. 338 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,600 What did he do? He humbled himself to the lowest 339 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,520 place he could. And it was a step towards the 340 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,240 lower place. The death of a criminal on a 341 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,000 cross. Jesus hung on a cross and died 342 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,800 so that we could be cleansed, we could be forgiven, we could have 343 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,680 salvation. The result is our salvation. 344 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,800 And then 4th is the directive. Verse 12. 345 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,480 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his 346 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,000 clothes. He returned to his place. 347 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,400 Do you understand what I have done for you? 348 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,520 He asked them. You call me Teacher and Lord, 349 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,520 and rightly so, for that's what I am. 350 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,400 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, 351 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,400 you also should wash one another's feet. 352 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,480 I've set an example that you should do as I have done for 353 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,400 you. Very truly. 354 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,600 I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is 355 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,360 a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 356 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,600 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do 357 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,760 them so. So Jesus loves us. 358 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,640 Jesus serves us, washes us. We have salvation in life 359 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,440 through him. But now is the directive. 360 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:41,880 Hey, now that you've accepted my washing, my grace, now it's time 361 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,400 for you to go and wash the feet and serve and love others. 362 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,120 If you're going to follow Jesus, you have to serve. 363 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,520 You have to love others. See, see, discipleship is 364 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,600 becoming like the disciple. It's following it. 365 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,400 The rabbi that's teaching the idea is that you're learning 366 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,480 from the rabbi and you're becoming like the rabbi. 367 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,440 The the discipleship of the Christian is that we are 368 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,680 becoming more like Jesus. He's transforming a scripture 369 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,120 says that his Holy Spirit's at work and he's transforming us 370 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,800 into his image. And so, so if you're going to 371 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,240 follow Jesus, you can't say, hey, I'll follow you, but I'm 372 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,960 not really big into foot washing. 373 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,600 Now, guys, I'm not talking about literal foot washing. 374 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Some churches, very few believe that this is a directive, A 375 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,800 ritual that we're supposed to do. 376 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,160 Most churches, what we believe is that this is something that 377 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,480 Jesus is showing us a picture that if you're going to follow 378 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,800 me, you have to humble yourself. You have to serve and you have 379 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,760 to love others. If you're going to follow Jesus, 380 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,120 it's not a choice. You have to be a servant. 381 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,640 You have to be a person of love #2 if you're going to be about 382 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,840 His mission, then you have to be in line with His mission. 383 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,480 If if you're going to be all about His grace and His 384 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,240 salvation, then you need to be in line with His mission to give 385 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,840 grace and salvation to others. And #3 it says if you know these 386 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280 things, you will be blessed if you do them. 387 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,360 Jesus is showing us that the best way to live is to pour 388 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,200 ourselves out for others. So here's the thing, we live in 389 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,000 a culture that is quite the opposite. 390 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,120 In fact, there is a trend in the church. 391 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:37,320 And I know I talk about this a lot and maybe I'm just a, you 392 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,760 know, getting old, but there's a trend in the church that that we 393 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,240 elevate people. There's a trend that there's 394 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,280 mega church pastors that build their brand. 395 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,360 There's a trend. And even in, in the church, 396 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,920 sometimes the temptation is to think that, hey, the, the, the 397 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,040 higher up I get, the more close to Jesus I get, the more my job 398 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,560 description changes and I get to be, you know, up here, Jesus 399 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,040 says, no, no, no, no. If you're going to follow me, 400 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,320 you've got to do as I've done. And so the closer you grow to 401 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,280 Jesus, the lower you should go for others. 402 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,840 My job description doesn't say I've got to go carry cats, I've 403 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,440 got to wash feet. But Jesus says if you want to 404 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,800 follow me, you'll do as I've done. 405 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,720 He gives us this directive, guys, hold me accountable. 406 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,320 Hold the preachers you listen to accountable. 407 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,640 Hold the leaders in in your life, the Christian leaders 408 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,960 accountable. If they're not loving and 409 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,120 serving others, they're not following the gospel. 410 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,120 They're not following Jesus. We are called. 411 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,320 The closer we get to Him, the more we should lower ourselves, 412 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,880 humble ourselves and serve others. 413 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,160 This isn't about me becoming something, this is about me 414 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,840 glorifying God by loving the people around me. 415 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,960 Matthew 25 says that Jesus says, then the king will say to those 416 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,080 on the right, come, you are blessed by my Father, take your 417 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,200 inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you since the 418 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,520 creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me 419 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,360 something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me 420 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,480 something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited 421 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000 me in. I needed clothes and you clothed 422 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,400 me. I was sick and you looked after 423 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,360 me. I was in prison. 424 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,080 You came to visit me. And then the righteous will 425 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,560 answer him. Lord, when did we see you hungry 426 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,400 and feed you? When, when did we see you 427 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,680 thirsty and give you something to drink? 428 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,520 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in? 429 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,720 When did we see you needing clothes and clothe you? 430 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,200 When did we see you sick or in prison and go visit you? 431 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,800 And the King will reply. Truly, I tell you, whatever you 432 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,280 have done for one of the least of these brothers or and sisters 433 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:13,320 of mine, you've done for me. If you want to worship, if you 434 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,640 want to serve God, you do that by loving and serving others. 435 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,640 Later in John 13, Jesus says a new command. 436 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,880 I give you love one another. As I have loved you, so you must 437 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,600 love one another. By this everyone will know 438 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,600 you're my disciples. If you love one another. 439 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,520 Here's the deal. If you're on mission, you're in 440 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,840 the business of loving and serving others. 441 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,400 That's it. You want to glorify God? 442 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,640 Sure. Worship, sing. 443 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,640 Absolutely. We should love God with all our 444 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,080 heart, soul, mind and strength. We should be at church, we 445 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,560 should sing, we should praise Him. 446 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,360 We should read our Bible, We should pray. 447 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,920 But the second command is like the first. 448 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:03,120 Love your neighbor as yourself. Loving Jesus will always lead us 449 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:08,160 to love and serve others. Our worship team, come on up. 450 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,200 I want us to respond to God's word number one. 451 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,880 I want you to know today that that Jesus loves you. 452 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,760 That if Jesus were here, he would want you to know that he 453 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,280 loves you more than you will ever understand. 454 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,120 He loves you. I think Jesus would want to wash 455 00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:29,960 your feet today. More than that, Jesus went to a 456 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,600 cross. That's what we're going to, 457 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,360 we're going to see this week in Holy Week. 458 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,160 Jesus gave his life on a cross for the sins you've committed. 459 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,560 Every single one of us has sinned and fallen short of the 460 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,000 glory of God, and there's nothing we could do to save 461 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,800 ourselves. But the good news is this. 462 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,920 Jesus loves you so much that he gave his life on a cross to pay 463 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,160 for your sins. You can have salvation today, 464 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,720 maybe some of you today, maybe some of you today just need to 465 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,440 accept his grace and his love and his salvation. 466 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,720 But but then he calls us to love and serve others. 467 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,240 If you've accepted his salvation and his grace, you are called, 468 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,760 you are directed to love and serve others. 469 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Now this sometimes we say things say you got to love and serve 470 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,480 others. And that's really vague. 471 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,560 And you may think, how do I even do that? 472 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,720 I want to give you a really beautiful picture that I saw 473 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:29,040 recently. We did Mack Mcdaniel's service 474 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,480 this week. He passed away. 475 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,600 Wonderful man of the church, a man that that I had a good 476 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,600 friendship with and about. I think it was about four weeks 477 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,840 ago, I would go visit him. And I thought, you know what, I 478 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,920 hope my dad can go with me. So I called dad. 479 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,880 I said, Dad, I'm going to go see Mack, can you come with me? 480 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,200 And he said, absolutely, I'd love to go see Mack. 481 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,240 And I thought, oh man, now Mack is just going to jump up and 482 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,040 down when Dad walks in. See, Dad was his pastor for 15 483 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,040 years before he became the district Superintendent. 484 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,080 And Mack loved him. And I just thought I had this 485 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,720 picture in my head, we're going to walk in and he's going to see 486 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,240 us and he's going to get this big smile. 487 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200 He's going to be excited. And, and we went to the the 488 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,560 memory care unit where he was and, and dad and I walked in and 489 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,880 Mack was laying in bed. He was having a really bad day. 490 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,040 He didn't even lift up his head. He was struggling. 491 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,480 He was laying in bed. His covers were up to about 492 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,840 here. And all you could see was his 493 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,680 head. And I said, Mack, Dad's here, 494 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,000 he's here to visit you. And he said, oh, that's good. 495 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:37,080 And I thought, I want a bummer. I thought this would cheer him 496 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,520 up. And we sat and talked to Mack as 497 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:47,720 he laid in the bed in his room. And then I saw the most 498 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:53,200 beautiful picture. I don't say this to Bragg, but 499 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,280 my dad's awesome. He's the district Superintendent 500 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,480 of the Southwest Ohio District. He's in charge of a lot of 501 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,080 churches, and he's been a pastor his whole life. 502 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:10,440 And then he came to visit Mac, and Mac's just laying in bed. 503 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,080 So Dad crawled into bed next to him. 504 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,800 It wasn't enough to stand there and pray over him. 505 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,760 He loved Mack. He wanted to show his love for 506 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,880 Mack. And so he crawled into bed and 507 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,400 prayed with him. Guys, we are called to love and 508 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,000 serve others. We are called to humble 509 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,280 ourselves. Maybe maybe that this week that 510 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,640 looks like just getting close to someone. 511 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,880 Maybe this week it means taking some time when you don't have 512 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,840 the time and listening to someone and hearing their story. 513 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,320 Maybe it means you need to forgive someone. 514 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,400 Jesus loves you so much that He gave everything so that you 515 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,760 could have salvation in life today. 516 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,640 If you haven't accepted that stand with me, go ahead stand 517 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,360 with me. I'm sorry everybody stand with 518 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,720 me. I was confusing, my bad today. 519 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,800 If you haven't accepted that salvation, His love and His 520 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,240 grace is here for you today and you can accept it today. 521 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,120 All it takes is saying I want you to be my Savior and my Lord, 522 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,080 and you can be cleansed and washed clean of all the stuff 523 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,840 you've done. But today maybe you're already 524 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,920 following Jesus. He's calling you to love and 525 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,640 serve others. I don't care if you've been in 526 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,400 the church 80 years, if you've served in every position, if 527 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,120 you're a general Superintendent or a district Superintendent or 528 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,440 a pastor or a Sunday school teacher, whatever you are, the 529 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,680 calling is to humble yourself, love and serve others. 530 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,960 I want to respond to God's word. We're going to sing a song. 531 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,440 Who else is worthy? And and we don't just, hey, who 532 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,320 else is worthy? It's not just who else is worthy 533 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,440 of my singing, but who else is worthy of my life. 534 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,360 Today I want you to respond to God's word. 535 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,360 Maybe today that's accepting his salvation and saying I want you 536 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,080 to be my Savior. If you want to do that, you 537 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,880 could come. There's altars up here and over 538 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,000 on the sides. You can pray, but maybe God's 539 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,760 speaking to you and tugging at your heart. 540 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,240 There's someone that he wants you to love and to serve. 541 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,760 Let's respond. Let's say yes. 542 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,560 Let's surrender everything. Let's trust him. 543 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,960 Father, speak to us. Thank you so much for your love 544 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,760 and your grace that we didn't deserve. 545 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,000 Thank you for the audaciousness that you not only wash would 546 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,480 wash our feet, but that you would go die on a cross for our 547 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,080 sins. You are the Savior of the world. 548 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,280 You're the King of kings, and you gave everything so that we 549 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,680 could have salvation in life. Help us to. 550 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,280 Help us to be servants of the King by serving others, loving 551 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,800 others. We give you everything. 552 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 We respond to your word now in Jesus name, Amen.
