  2. The Final Passover, Part 1Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:14-30; John 13:1-30 People are innately proud, God is innately merciful and gracious

  3. Matthew 26:20; Mark 14:17; Luke 22:14

  4. Passover BeginsMatthew 26:20; Mark 14:17; Luke 22:14 The exact chronology is uncertain, but the events that took place are certain Luke 22:15-16, Jesus sees the present with a view to the future and so desires this last Passover

  5. The Pride of the DisciplesLuke 22:24–30 The disciples had argued in Galilee about who was the greatest (Matt. 18) and the week prior (Matt. 20) Jesus had rebuked them but they were blatantly selfish and had not yet learned the lesson

  6. The Pride of the DisciplesLuke 22:24–30 Luke 22:25-30 A rebuke similar to the one a week earlier (Matt. 20) - greatness is not about power & position God gives you your gift(s), ministry and empowerment - greatness is about being faithful to Him

  7. The Pride of the DisciplesLuke 22:24–30 The rebuke is expected, the promises of future greatness is not - Jesus also sees their future greatness

  8. The Savior’s HumilityJohn 13:1-20 The Setting & Motivations - John 13:1-3 Jesus’ motivations: By love - aJgaphv / agapē By confidence in carrying out the Father’s plan & soon return to Him Judas is greedy and selfish, yet Jesus still has compassion to warn him

  9. The Savior’s Humility – The Role of a Slave - John 13:4-5 Foot washing was a task that Hebrew slaves could not be compelled to do - their dirty feet were not washed Jesus takes up the role of a slave and prepares and then washes their feet - cf. Phil. 2:7

  10. The Savior’s Humility – Surprised Disciples - John 13:6-9 Peter responds with shock and strong objection Jesus explains it is necessary in order to part of Him - & Peter swings the opposite direction - wash more!

  11. The Savior’s Humility – The Symbolism - John 13:10-12 The physical example explains a spiritual reality Those cleansed of their sins only needed the filth from walking in the world cleaned off - 1 John 1:9 Colossians 2:14 - our sins have been paid; believers are new creatures in Christ - 1 Cor. 5:17

  12. Jesus’ Position - John 13:13 Jesus is both teacher and Lord Jesus’ Action - John 13:14-16 Jesus’ gave them a positive exhortation to follow His example of humility Jesus’ Command - John 13:15 Be humble servants to one another – This is not a foot washing ordinance

  13. The Savior’s Humility – Promised Blessing - John 13:17 There is blessing if you put into action the command Blessedness is a spiritual condition that exists in all circumstances - something the world doesn’t understand

  14. Preparing the Disciples for the Future John 13:18-20 Jesus quotes Psalm 41:9 in warning that one of them would be like Ahithophel was to David Jesus tells them in advance so they would not be shaken by what was about to take place

  15. Preparing the Disciples for the Future John 13:18-20 Jesus is not a victim in a tragedy - He is omniscient and sovereign even in facing His own death vs. 20 - Jesus’ ministry will continue through them

  16. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 John 13:21 Jesus’ spirit is troubled, agitated that one of them would be betray Him John 13:22; Matthew 26:22 The disciples are confused and grieved - each wondering if it could be him?

  17. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 Matthew 26:23 This could be any of them since they were all sharing in the same meal Matthew 26:24 Jesus gives a stern and sobering warning to the betrayer

  18. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 Matthew 26:25 - Judas brazenly acts like the others, but Jesus confirms it is him Luke 22:23 - The disciples discuss among themselves who it could possibly be

  19. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 John 13:23-25 Peter gets John (the disciple whom Jesus loved) to ask Jesus directly John 13:25-26 Jesus identifies Judas with a dipped morsel - a last warning to him that Jesus knew his plot

  20. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 John 13:27 Judas rejects the warning and would not resist Satan any longer Jesus is still in control and commands Judas to go do his deed quickly

  21. Prediction of BetrayalMt. 26:21-25; Mk 14:18-21; Lk 22:21-23; Jn 13:21-30 John 13:28-30 The disciples wrongly think Judas leaves to do something legitimate People can be very deceptive for character is only proven over time as various circumstances are faced

  22. Conclusions Man is innately proud and seeks for himself while Jesus is innately gracious to redeem man from sin Every person will choose between self and God Choosing self results in greater sin, and for the Christian, chastening from God (Hebrews 12:5-11)

  23. Conclusions A non-Christian choosing God makes steps toward belief and salvation A Christian choosing God moves toward greater personal holiness and glorifies God
