—John 13:2b-11
by: Leota Stevens.
Does the rumor of impending trouble cause your heart to tremble with fear? Sometimes I focus too much on the negative aspects of this world’s events, and it bothers my soul. In this particular scripture, Jesus is painfully aware of the price he will soon have to pay for the forgiveness of man’s sin. How did he spend his last moments with his disciples? Did he panic? Did he try to run for cover or save himself? No! He prepared himself for humble ministry to the people that God had brought into his sphere of influence. He used the simple actions of a servant to express the depth of his selfless love.
