John 13: 1-5

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him; Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He was come from GOD and went to GOD; He riseth from supper and laid aside His garments, and took a towel, and girded Himself. After that He poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

In the Gospel of John, we find some specific information that is very important for all of us to see. Jesus knew "that His hour was come" and Jesus knew that "the Father had given all things into His hands" and Jesus knew that "He was come from GOD and went to GOD". With this amount of knowledge about what was about to transpire in His life, He showed His love to His Disciples in a very extraordinary way, He washed their feet.

It was love that caused Him to leave Glory to come to earth. It was love that caused Him to heal, restore, forgive, make blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. It was love that caused Him to be tough on the leaders of the Temple who were not loving to the people. LOVE, unconditional love of the Messiah for all the world. He is the Pascal Lamb, whose Blood Redeems us all.

LOVE LED JESUS TO CALVERY; LOVE DIVINE
