John 13: 3-5
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.
WASHING THE FEET OF OTHERS IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THE JUDAS SYNDROME.
JESUS knew who He was and whose He was; He was/is the Son of GOD and He was/is master of all. There is no one higher than JESUS or with more authority, and yet He stripped Himself of all the garments of the flesh and lowered Himself below His disciples. HE WASHED THEIR FEET!!
The Judas syndrome inspires pride and self exaltation; JESUS inspires humility. It takes a lot of LOVE to humble oneself below another, naked and vulnerable; yet that is just what JESUS did. It is this type of humility and love that the devil can not copy. The Judas syndrome inspires lust and greed; pride and self-centeredness. The antidote to the disease of the Judas syndrome is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
