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.
