Episode 242: John 13

Today's meditation is on John Chapter 13

I was chosen by God. I know that Jesus is the Messiah. I welcome him and I welcome Father God who sent him.

While Jesus walked the earth, he chose twelve men as his disciples, his students, his closest companions. He knew the hour had come for him to leave this world and return to his Father. Throughout his ministry on earth, Jesus demonstrated a deep and tender love for his disciples, and he loved them to the very end. He longed to show them the full measure of his love.

Before they sat down to the Passover meal, Jesus showed great humility by washing the feet of his disciples. It was yet another example of the depth of his service and commitment to those he loved. 

He gave me a great example to follow. Slaves are not greater than their master, and the messenger is not more important than the one who sent him. 
God blesses me for serving others in humility. I experience a life of happiness enriched with untold blessings. 

Even though Jesus knew he was going to be betrayed, that didn't make it any easier when the time came. He was deeply troubled that one of his closest friends would betray him. But when the time came, he told Judas to hurry and do what he was going to do. 

The time had come for him to enter into his glory, and to glorify Father God. As he was preparing his disciples for his departure, he gave a new commandment: to love each other. Just as he loves me, I should love others. And when I demonstrate the same love he has for me by loving others, everyone will know that I am truly a follower of Christ.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
