I’m so grateful for God’s love. It’s absolutely priceless. In John 13, Jesus knew what awaited Him. He sat in betrayal. He knew his Earthly life was about to come to an end. What did Jesus do? He focused on them. He focuses on us!
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 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.
That’s our God! He is willing to show us love despite our past mistakes, current struggles, and future let-downs. He gets down on bended knees and “washes our feet”. There’s nothing they deserve to have this. Just there is nothing we have done or will ever do. How has He “washed your feet”? Medical diagnosis in your favor, financial support, addiction broken, child born, marriage saved, or any other list of miracles he provides daily to show His love.
Jesus didn’t just do it for us. He taught us to do the same. As a Father who models and provides an example & gives us a command.
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
