Re: Verse reading–John 13:1-17 (day five)
The introduction to Jesus washing the disciples’ feet is mind boggling. Whatever happens next will be important, memorable, and calculated. (knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,)
Jesus was fully aware of His Authority, His Divinity, and His Future Glory. So Jesus gives us a remarkable picture of God- a loving servant. Jesus had not forgotten He was God and decided to humble himself. NO, it was because He knew He was God and determined to act as God.
Self-awareness is a great leadership and personal attribute. Knowing who we are, what our authorities are, what mission we are entrusted to carry out, and do well despite challenges and obstacles surely help us move forward with determination, satisfaction and joy. Having faith helps us move forward with comfort and joy. Jesus knew His mission and He comepleted it. Thanks for the blog.
