WHAT I LEARNED FROM CHAPTER 13

TIME OF REFLECTION:
The Book of John gives us a portrait of Jesus as God/Diety. In Chapter 13 this theme is very important to notice.
For it is only God:
1) Who can serve with a pure motive. (Washing the disciples feet)
2) Who knows the heart and mind of man. (the purpose and plan of Judas)
3) Who has authority over Satan's plan. (v27-31)
4) Who institutes the New Commandment, which is a new aspect of the Old Commandment (see Lev. 19:18) (v33-34)
5) Who knows the future. (Peter is told that he would deny Jesus)
6) Who is love and through Him we can love others. (washing another's feet and loving one another)
WHAT DID YOU REFLECT ON THIS CHAPTER? FATHER, THANK YOU THAT YOU GAVE YOURSELF TO REDEEM FOR YOURSELF A PEOPLE. AMEN
