The Room Where It Happened | Loving Like Jesus

Published: Aug. 16, 2020, 5:58 p.m.

Jesus invites his disciples, and us, into the intimate setting of the last supper, his final words before his death and resurrection. He washes his disciples’ feet, symbolizing his cleansing, servant love, and gives his disciples a new command: love each other and others as he loves them.

If we’re honest, though, this presents two problems for us as modern Christians. First, Christians aren’t always the most loving people. Second, we are so confused as to what the word love even means in our society. What does Jesus mean when he says we are to love one another? Both of these questions actually find satisfying fulfillment in this passage. Pastor Joel breaks it all down.
