Before I Go... Let Me Just Say...
Before the last super Jesus took the time to wash his disciples feet. Then he gave them the very precious admonition that... "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples... if you have love one for another." His Message... Was To Serve & Love (John 13)
.
Then He gave the sad news that He was going to leave... but... that they should remember Him and what he was doing by taking communion together. "Take & eat this is my body which is broken for you" "Take and drink this is my blood which is shed for you." "As oft as you do this... do it in remembrance of me." His Message... Remember His Service, Love & Sacrifice For Us All. (Matthew 26:17-21)
.
Then He gave His last message of John 14 that in His departure, "He was going to prepare a place for them (and all of us)... Heaven... the hope of all generations." "THAT WHERE HE WAS, WE COULD BE ALSO."
.
So much said & done in such a short time... but if you boiled it down it would basically be this... "Remember Me... Remember What I Have Done For You... Love & Serve One Another... &... Don't Be Afraid... WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN SOON"
.
He Led and Taught by Example. May God help us to do likewise.
