Today
I’m asking
you to use your
imagination
.
I’m also
transporting
you back in time,
to Jesus’ last evening
as a free man
…
Soon he’ll
allow himself
to be placed into
the hands of others,
People who have
been seeking
his death
.
But right now,
he’s sharing a meal
with his closest
companions
.

In the
book of John,
just before the
Passover Festival
:
…
Jesus knew
that the hour had come
for him to leave this world
and go to the Father
.
Having
loved his own
who were in the world,
he loved them
to the end
.
If you knew
your hour had come,
and it was time for
you to leave
;
If
you knew
you were going
back to
God
,
What Would
You Do
Next
?

Let’s read
another verse
:
Jesus,
John 13:3
knowing that
the Father had given
all things into his hands,
and that he had come
from God
and was returning
to God,
he

Let’s
just pause
right there for
a moment
.
.
.
Jesus knows that
he has been given
ALL THINGS
.
He
must
depart
.
Do you know
what he did next
?
He
rose up
from supper
and…

Okay,
here’s where
I’m asking you to
use your imagination
:
Try to
imagine
ALL THINGS
placed into
your hands
.
!!! ALL !!!
THINGS
!!!
you know
you’re
from
God
,
and
you’re
going back
to God
,
but
your time
is up
.
What
would you
do next
???
-=< O >=-
I wouldn’t
have thought of
doing what
he did
.
Not that
I wouldn’t do it,
I just know I wouldn’t
have thought of it
.
He rose
from supper,
and
-=< O >=-
HE
WASHED
THEIR FEET
