Follow – Part 2: Love Like Jesus
John 13:1-17
“…Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.” John 13:1 (p.822)
“So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist…Then he began to wash the disciples feet…” John 13:4-5 (p.822)
Series Memory Verse: “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.’” Matthew 16:24 (p.748)
“‘…do you understand what I was doing? …you ought to wash each other’s feet.’” John 13:12,14 (p.822)
- We Follow Jesus By Loving How He Loves.
- Identify someone around you who needs love.
“And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow…” John 13:14-15 (p.822)
- Intentionally show the love of Jesus to that person by serving.
“I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.” John 13:16 (p.822)
“Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.” John 13:17 (p.822)
