Clues to Pursue: Jesus on Thursday - A lesson on serving others-John 13:1-17 "…slaves are not greater than their master.”
As Jesus was preparing Himself and his disciples for what was now only a few hours away, he taught them the greatest lesson on serving others that has ever been given.
One of the main teaching tools of Christ was that of symbolism. Baptism is the symbol of the death, burial, and the resurrection of Christ. The Lord’s Supper is a symbol; the bread is a symbol Christ’s body which was broken for us, and the wine was a symbol of the blood of Christ which would be poured out for us.
When Jesus taught to “wash one another’s feet” is was the greatest symbol we can imagine of how we are to serve one another with that kind of humility and sincerity. When we care for someone else, more than we care for ourselves, we too take up the towel and the basin.
One way we can serve others by inviting them to the greatest celebration in history: THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. Remember, the celebration begins at TVCC, Saturday 6:00 p.m. and continues Sunday at 9:00 & 11:00 a.m.
HE IS RISEN!
