Daily Walk Through the New Testament

August 29

Read John 12:27-13:4

In the Upper Room we see a picture of Jesus’ earthly mission. John 13:4 says that after eating, He “rose from supper,” just as He’d stepped away from His heavenly throne. It says He “laid aside His garments,” just as He’d laid aside His deity. He girded Himself with a towel, just as He’d taken the form of a servant. He poured water in a basin, just as He’d later pour out His blood on the cross. He washed the disciples’ feet, and He washes us from our sins through His finished work at Calvary.
Continue Jesus’ mission by serving others and telling them how He cleanses us from sin.
