The Last Night (John 13-17) – Continually Washed

Peter Barnes | John 13:1-11

SERMON  NOTES
CONTINUALLY  WASHED
Proverbs 16:18-33;  John 13:1-11

– John  1-12  tells  of  Jesus’  public  ministry;  John  13-21  is  more  private.

1.  Jesus  is  Lord.

(a)  He  knows  the  hour  –  13:1a.

(b)  He  loves  His  disciples  to  the  end  –  13:1;  see  John 6:70;  Isa.49:15-16.

(c)  He  knows  that  He  came  from  God  and  was  returning  to  God  –  13:3.  See  John 17:5.

2.  Jesus  stoops  down  to  be  a  servant.

– 13:4-5;  see  1 Sam.25:41;  1  Tim.5:10;  Luke 22:27

– the  one  in  the  form  of  God  takes  on  the  form  of  a  servant  (Phil.2:6-7)

3.  Christians  still  need  to  be  washed.

– 13:6;  like  John  the  Baptist  in  Matt.3:13-14

– 13:7;  Peter  has  a  way  of  getting  things  half-right  (Matt.16:16-23;  17:2-8;  John 18:10-11)

– 13:8-11;  we  are  justified  once,  but  need  to  repent  every  day.
