John 13 - Coggle Diagram

- - - - But that is exactly the point. It is an act of grace.
      - (WRONG)What happens if Peter is unwilling to accept this grace? (V8)
      - He will have no share with Jesus. This is Peter that we are talking about!
        
        By keeping Jesus from sharing in his filth, he will be kept from sharing in Jesus' cleanliness.
        
        Husband/Bride share everything
        
        union in Christ
        
        1) Double Imputation
        
        2) We receive his inheritance and he receives our punishment
        
        3) His Father becomes our Father
        
        4) We now share in his kingdom of light as opposed to the kingdom of darkness.
        
        Such a picture of the cross (V7)
        
        Right now he must accept the grace of Jesus serving him in a foot washing. In less than 24 hours he will need to accept the grace of Jesus serving him by laying down his life for him on the cross.
        
        This verse should be a comfort to those children of God who are still being taught lessons by their master which they don't yet fully comprehend.
        
        This sharing concept is why it is called the good news and is how Christianity separates itself from all other religions out there.
      - (RIGHT)This question of Peter's really represents all Christians. "Would you the Christ stoop down to serve me?"
        
        Mark 10:45
  - - - He is the treasurer
      - He is a part of the 12
      - He has been outwardly washed
      - One would assume he is very well versed in Jesus' teaching
  - - - "With the blood of Christ we must begin, and with the blood of Christ we must go on." JC Ryle
      - Also important to note is that when we do soil our feet, which would represent falling into sin, we do not need to be washed anew, which would represent needing to be justified all over again.
      - Remember, Christ knows that these men are about to betray him, just like Judas. Yet, Jesus assures them that they will be found clean while Judas will not, because they will be justified by ultimately being washed in the saving blood of Christ.
        
        They are his chosen ones. (V18)
- - - - Philippians 2:5-8
      - Matthew 20:26-28
    - - The church should delight to do anything which would promote the happiness of his or her fellow sheep in accord with God's Word.
  - - - The servant is not greater than his master, nor the messenger greater than the one who sent him (V16)
        
        Identity and Mission (explain)
  - - - James 4:17
        
        James 2:19 tells us that even the demons have right knowledge
- - - - Yet Jesus is the King of King and the Lord of Lords, but he is also the servant of servants. This position of service does not muddy our picture of who God is, but clarifies it.
        
        Jesus is the exact imprint of God's nature in the flesh. Here he shows us that service is a part of who God is. Jesus came to serve. He came to serve his Father's will and his Father's people.
        
        Jesus says "he who has seen me has seen the Father"
        
        And we do see the centrality of service attributed to God the Father. After-all he served us by sending his one and only son into this world to save the world. Who would say this isn't the greatest act of service?
      - Vv4-5 Cross Reference John 10:17-18
        
        τίθημι (tithēmi) - lay down
        
        λαμβάνω (lambanō) - take up
      - This passage is trying to hammer home the picture of Jesus as a servant. The term foot washing was synonymous with the term slave. It was considered one of the most low acts required of a slave, and it was never ever done by a superior.
        
        Yet this is but a dim picture of a lowly act of a servant. The act of going to the cross will humble even this lowly act.
        
        This is why we see Peter respond the way he does. One commentator suggest that Peter's question hints at him being scandalized by the thought.
    - - Philippians 2:8
      - Isaiah 53
  - - - Ever since the disciples have been following Jesus they have been difficult to love. (boasting, unloving towards others, argumentative, etc)
    - - The word "end" literally means to the "uttermost." The next day when Jesus descends into the uttermost parts of hell for the sins of his loved ones, his love will remain. He will not curse those whom he loves.
        
        Hebrews 12:2
    - - This love is the heart beat of the Gospel. The unmerited favor of God initiated and completed by God.
        
        "It is a kind of love to which there is nothing like it among men. The narrow selfishness of human nature cannot fully comprehend it. It is one of those things which even the angels of God "desire to look into." It is a truth which Christian preachers and teachers should proclaim incessantly and never be weary of proclaiming." -JC Ryle
      - Have you fallen into sin again this week?
        
        If so, you must examine yourself and see if this is merely a battle lost in the war you are waging against your flesh as you try to mortify it. Or, are you in sin because you are not in Christ?
        
        But if you come to Christ in faith exercising Godly repentance, be reminded of John 6:37 -- whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
    - - Selfish - What can I get out of this?
      - Selfless - How can I glorify God? How can I benefit others?
    - - He has prepared a meal for them. The disciples didn't have to cook this meal, they were merely recipients.
      - And he sees that they are dirty and he desires to make them clean at his own expense.
