(John 13:1-3) It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love\\u2026

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 13:4-5) \\u201c\\u2026so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples\\u2019 feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him\\u2026\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 13:12) \\u201cWhen he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. \\u201cDo you understand what I have done for you?\\u201d he asked them.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 13:13) \\u201cYou call me \\u2018Teacher\\u2019 and \\u2018Lord,\\u2019 and rightly so, for that is what I am.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 13:14) \\u201cNow that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another\'s feet.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

How do you love?\\xa0 How do you serve this way?

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

2 simple ways:

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

1.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Find a need and fill it.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(Titus 3:14) \\u201c(Christ-followers) must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

2.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Find a hurt and heal it.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(Isaiah 61:1-3) \\u201cThe Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD\'s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 13:17) \\u201cNow that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(Titus 3:8) \\u201cI want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(1 Timothy 6:17-19) \\u201cCommand those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.\\u201d

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

(John 15:8, 11) \\u201cThis is to my Father\\u2019s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.\\u201d
