What are your initial thoughts when you
read this verse?
Let’s take a look now at the context.
John 13:12-17
What was Jesus trying to get across to
those present?
(humility/service to others/those in
leadership must serve also)
Does it apply only to feet washing?
What does this passage have to do with
me? How should it impact my Christian life?
Is feet washing for today? Why or why
not? Try not to answer on opinion or prejudice only. What would be
the spiritual benefits of washing someone else’s feet?
Did Jesus wash Judas Iscariot’s feet?
If so, what can we learn from this?
(possible answers: God’s love does not
discriminate. It is offered even if none will be returned.)
Is it easy to serve others? Is it easy
to serve those who betray us?
What should we do in regard to serving
others, including those who may have betrayed us?
How can we accomplish this service?
Note the blessing in verse 17. First we
know something, but the blessing doesn’t come until we do what? (do
them). Remember faith is active not passive.
