The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !

Good morning,
The message for the beloved Children of God - Holy Week !
The commands that Jesus gave to his disciples at the Last Supper was, to love with humility by serving one another and to remember his sacrifice. If you are a disciple of Jesus ask yourself, do you walk in love, do you put others before yourself ? Let us not forget the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior also, children of God follow His footsteps. Before the Passover meal, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. By performing this lowly act of service, the Bible says in John that Jesus "showed them the full extent of his love." By his example, Jesus demonstrated how believers are to love one another, humble themselves and serve one another in love. How many people do you know, that would wash your feet? Not many! I thank God that my feet do get a wonderful message, and it feels great every time. But, we do know that what Jesus was doing is spiritual, it is nothing like it. It's the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Messiah washing his disciples feet, that's Awesome. Read John 13:4-8, He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. That's a very powerful statement. Then, at the Passover meal, Jesus took the bread and the cup of wine, lifting it up to his Father to bless it. He broke the bread into pieces, giving it to his disciples. And then He gave thanks, for the cup of wine and passed it around the table. For it is written in Luke 22:19-20, And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. The Last Supper was very significant because Jesus showed his disciples he was about to become the Passover Lamb of God. His blood would open the door to freedom. His followers would exchange slavery to sin and death for eternal life in God's Kingdom. Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord for your love and your Kingdom. For, He laid down His life for you and me, and we give thanks unto the Lord. There is no greater love than someone laying down his or her life for a friend. Jesus' love in dying (laying down) for his children, is greater than any instance of love among mankind. For it is written in 1 John 4:7, Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. For, we have every reason to take you Lord at your word. We walk by faith, not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
