John Teaches Jesus the Servant King
John 13:1-20
“The Son of Man came not to be served but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in
Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men. And being found in
human form, he humbled himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death
on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed
on him the name that is above every name, so that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven
and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
“If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your
feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I
have given you an example, that you also should do just
as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a
servant is not greater than his master, nor is a
messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you
know these things, blessed are you if
you do them.”
John 13:14-17
Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus
knew that his hour had come to depart out of this
world to the Father, having loved his own who were in
the world, he loved them to the end.
John 13:1
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one
another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love
one another. By this all people will know that you are
my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35
“Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he
it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved
by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself
to him.”
John 14:21
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay
down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13
“I made known to them your name, and I will continue
to make it known, that the love with which you have
loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
John 17:26
“We may reasonably ask if those Christian
communities who still practice foot washing as a
sacrament on par with baptism and the Lord’s Supper
have understood this passage better than those who
dismiss it as culturally irrelevant.”
D.A. Carson
During supper, when the devil had already put it into
the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him
John 13:2
“And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as
you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you
did it to me.’”
Matthew 25:40
