00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.339
 Hi, my name's Lynn and I've been a member at Brunsfield for two years now.

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.359
 I'm going to read Psalm 51, verses 1 to 10.

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:14.240
 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love,

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:17.839
 according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:21.519
 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:25.240
 For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me.

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:28.240
 Against you, you only, have I sinned.

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.979
 And done what is evil in your sight.

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.539
 So you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.560
 Surely I was sinful at birth.

00:00:35.839 --> 00:00:37.859
 Sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

00:00:38.299 --> 00:00:40.700
 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb.

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.879
 You taught me wisdom in that secret place.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.719
 Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean.

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.019
 Wash me and I will be white within snow.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:50.140
 Let me hear joy and gladness.

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:52.039
 Let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

00:00:52.379 --> 00:00:55.780
 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.

00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.000
 Create in me a pure heart, O God.

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.460
 And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:06.140
 Hi, my name is Derek and I'm Lynn's husband and I'm reading from the New Testament today.

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.040
 In John chapter 13, verses 1 through 20.

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.900
 It was just before the Passover festival.

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:17.400
 Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.900
 Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:27.180
 The evening meal was in progress and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon of Scariot, to betray Jesus.

00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:33.280
 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God.

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.400
 So he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing and wrapped the towel around his waist.

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.200
 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, dragging him the towel that was wrapped around him.

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:48.599
 He came to Simon Peter and he said to him,

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.740
 Lord, are you going to wash my feet?

00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:55.700
 Jesus replied, you do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand.

00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:58.680
 No, said Peter, you shall never wash my feet.

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.659
 Jesus answered, unless I wash you, you have no part with me.

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:07.740
 Then, Lord, said Peter, replied, not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.659
 Jesus answered, those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet.

00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:16.300
 Their whole body is clean, and you are clean, though not every one of you.

00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:21.000
 For he knew he was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one of them was clean.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.800
 When he had finished washing your feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:29.039
 Do you understand what I have done for you? he asked them.

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:34.159
 You call me teacher and lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am.

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:40.180
 Now that I, your lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.280
 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:48.360
 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.540
 nor is this messenger greater than the one who sent him.

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.660
 Now that you know these things, you'll be blessed if you do them.

00:02:56.660 --> 00:02:58.180
 I am not fairing to all of you.

00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:03.720
 I know those that I have chosen, but this is to fulfil this passage of scripture.

00:03:04.380 --> 00:03:06.320
 He who shared my bread has turned against me.

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.920
 I am telling you now, before it happens,

00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:12.140
 so that when it does happen, you will believe that I am who I am.

00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:14.120
 Very truly I tell you,

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.800
 whoever accepts anyone I send, accepts me.

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:20.340
 And whoever accepts me, accepts the one who sent me.

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:21.379
 Amen.

00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:24.300
 Now let's pray for Ian before the sermon begins.

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:27.659
 And Lord, we thank you for the gift of your word,

00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:31.060
 and as we think on these things, open our hearts and our minds to hear you.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.439
 We pray for Ian, and we give thanks for the gifts that you've given him.

00:03:34.980 --> 00:03:36.900
 Pray for him, as he guides us through his messages,

00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:38.460
 and opening our hearts to this.

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:39.099
 Amen.

00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:41.900
 Good morning, everyone.

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.680
 I'm Ian, and I'm delighted to repeat the welcome that Luca gave you earlier.

00:03:46.299 --> 00:03:50.620
 We're continuing today our series of encounters with Jesus from John's Gospel,

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:55.299
 and we're looking at the passage that Derek just read to us under the title,

00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.759
 A Puzzled Disciple, that disciple, of course, being Peter.

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.560
 When I was growing up at Brunsfield, one of my friends, John, was a talented artist.

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.780
 And one day John's father came to him and said,

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.920
 I've got a special job I want you to do.

00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:14.120
 I want you to make a sign that says,

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.780
 Divine Service performed here three times daily.

00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:20.980
 John was a bit puzzled about what his father meant,

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.220
 but he duitly went away,

00:04:22.660 --> 00:04:25.959
 and in his best script, and with his best design,

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.060
 he produced a sign and brought it back.

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:33.019
 Divine Service performed here three times daily.

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:35.000
 And his father said to him,

00:04:35.479 --> 00:04:36.939
 Right, that's great, well done.

00:04:37.419 --> 00:04:41.099
 I want you to go and hang that over the sink in the kitchen,

00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:44.240
 because that's where you have the opportunity in this house

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.159
 to perform divine service three times daily.

00:04:49.099 --> 00:04:50.199
 Well, it was a good lesson,

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:52.219
 and it was one that came to my mind

00:04:52.219 --> 00:04:55.299
 as I was reading this passage for this morning.

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:59.540
 Not just because it features a basin and a towel.

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:04.180
 Foot washing and dishwashing need both of these.

00:05:04.780 --> 00:05:06.500
 But the lesson is really the same

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:10.060
 as the Lord is trying to get out to us today.

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.840
 We serve God by serving others,

00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:16.319
 and we often need to do that

00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.519
 in ways that might seem to dent our pride,

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.780
 might even sometimes seem mundane,

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.740
 or even demeaning.

00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.360
 And so we're going to look today

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.500
 at serving others,

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:32.620
 and also at being served by others.

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.040
 But there's a second significance

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.800
 of this bowl and towel.

00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:40.360
 In Matthew chapter 23,

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:42.540
 the Lord Jesus has a diatribe

00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:45.220
 against the religious leaders of his day.

00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:48.960
 Seven woes exposing their hypocrisy.

00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.459
 And the Lord Jesus says,

00:05:51.539 --> 00:05:52.299
 as one of them,

00:05:52.739 --> 00:05:54.339
 Matthew 23, verse 25,

00:05:54.339 --> 00:05:57.759
 Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,

00:05:58.359 --> 00:05:59.199
 you hypocrites!

00:06:00.299 --> 00:06:02.719
 You clean the outside of the cup and dish,

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:05.459
 but inside they are full of greed

00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:07.299
 and self-indulgence.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.399
 Blind Pharisee,

00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:12.579
 first clean the inside of the cup and dish,

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.500
 and then the outside also will be clean.

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:19.859
 Clean on the outside,

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:23.060
 but dirty on the inside.

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:25.080
 And that too is a lesson

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:27.340
 that Jesus is trying to present to us

00:06:27.340 --> 00:06:28.540
 in this passage.

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:30.560
 He has a discussion with Peter

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.080
 about bathing and about washing feet.

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.259
 But actually it emerges

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:37.540
 that really it's about being clean

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:39.980
 or being dirty inside.

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.480
 So we'll be looking at clean feet

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.460
 and clean hearts.

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:47.199
 But first let's have a look

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.739
 at the backgrounds to this passage.

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:53.239
 We're on the eve of Calvary.

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.339
 Within 24 hours,

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.879
 the Lord Jesus will have died on the cross

00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.219
 for our sins.

00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.539
 And throughout this passage in John's Gospel,

00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.179
 there are references to that.

00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:08.079
 For example, in verse 1 of chapter 13,

00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.079
 it talks about the Lord Jesus

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.000
 loving his disciples to the end.

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.180
 The word could be translated

00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:16.139
 to the finish.

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.180
 And that parallels the Lord Jesus'

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:19.600
 final cry from the cross.

00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:21.500
 It is finished.

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:23.639
 John talks about him

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:24.899
 laying aside his garment

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:26.459
 and taking it up again.

00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:29.139
 And the Lord Jesus uses the same words

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:30.100
 earlier in the Gospel

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.079
 about laying down his life

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.860
 and taking it up again.

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.480
 And there are several similar references

00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.899
 as we go through.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.339
 Very much in the Lord's mind

00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:42.519
 and in John's mind as he writes,

00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.379
 is the fact that the cross

00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:45.859
 is very close.

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:49.079
 But the disciples don't know that.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:50.879
 They haven't realised

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.759
 that the Lord is going to die

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.659
 within a very short time.

00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:57.799
 As far as they're concerned,

00:07:58.259 --> 00:07:59.159
 they have come with him

00:07:59.159 --> 00:08:00.060
 to an upper room

00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:02.859
 to celebrate the Passover together.

00:08:03.359 --> 00:08:04.680
 And of course, as part of that,

00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.379
 the Lord instituted what we call

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.879
 the Lord's Supper or Communion.

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.680
 Now I say the disciples

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.600
 didn't realise what was happening,

00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:14.879
 but I think there was a real tension

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.040
 in the room.

00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:17.939
 The disciples knew

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:19.779
 that there was danger about it,

00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:21.439
 that the Lord was in danger

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.779
 from the religious leaders

00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:25.019
 because he had exposed their hypocrisy

00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:27.879
 and because he had stood up to them.

00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:29.879
 And so they were very tense.

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.720
 And one of the things that happened

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.820
 during the time in the upper room

00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:36.940
 was that the disciples had an argument

00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:39.680
 about which of them was the greatest.

00:08:40.420 --> 00:08:41.960
 That was one of the things

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.800
 on their minds.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.420
 And I think that's relevant

00:08:45.420 --> 00:08:48.120
 as we look at this incident here.

00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:50.680
 Because the Lord Jesus

00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:52.900
 was trying to teach them a lesson

00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:54.560
 about greatness

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:57.100
 and about serving others.

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:59.320
 If you went to a house for a meal,

00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:01.140
 the custom was that the host

00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:02.080
 would arrange for someone

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.080
 to wash your feet.

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.240
 Your feet got quite dusty

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.200
 walking around Israel

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.000
 and the host would arrange

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.379
 for your feet to be washed.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.860
 And that was something

00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:11.480
 that was done

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.040
 by the lowest servant in the house.

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.900
 The more senior servants

00:09:15.900 --> 00:09:17.800
 would think it was below them.

00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:19.080
 And certainly anyone

00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.100
 who wasn't a servant

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:21.780
 wouldn't think this was something

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.680
 they should be doing.

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:25.520
 And so the Lord Jesus

00:09:25.520 --> 00:09:26.580
 come to this room

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:27.920
 and there are no servants.

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:30.360
 There are only the 12 disciples

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.920
 plus Jesus.

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.860
 And perhaps the disciples

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.579
 were thinking,

00:09:34.939 --> 00:09:36.059
 well, who's going to wash

00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:37.679
 Jesus' feet?

00:09:38.579 --> 00:09:39.399
 And maybe all of them

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:39.899
 were thinking,

00:09:40.219 --> 00:09:41.860
 well, it's not going to be me

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:43.779
 because if I wash Jesus' feet,

00:09:44.019 --> 00:09:45.219
 I'll have to wash the feet

00:09:45.219 --> 00:09:47.459
 of the other disciples as well.

00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:49.439
 And I'm not going to wash the feet

00:09:49.439 --> 00:09:50.659
 of Matthew or of Thomas

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:51.539
 or of Philip

00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:54.259
 because I think I'm greater than them.

00:09:54.339 --> 00:09:55.379
 They should be doing it,

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:56.860
 not me.

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.720
 And so you can imagine

00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.259
 their horror

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:00.860
 when the Lord Jesus himself

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:02.240
 takes off his garment,

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:04.279
 takes the bowl of water

00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:05.480
 and the towel

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.840
 and goes round

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.480
 and washes

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.480
 the disciples' feet.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:10.560
 That looks like

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:11.340
 the first few of them

00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:12.159
 accepted it

00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:13.840
 but when he got to Peter,

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.259
 Peter objected

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.399
 very strongly.

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.659
 And we'll look in a few minutes

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:19.960
 at that discussion

00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.519
 between the Lord Jesus

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.700
 and Peter.

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:24.540
 But we're going to skip over it

00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:25.140
 for the moment

00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:26.420
 and we're going to think

00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:27.540
 about the key lesson

00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:28.980
 that the Lord takes

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:30.140
 from his washing

00:10:30.140 --> 00:10:31.660
 the disciples' feet.

00:10:32.400 --> 00:10:33.900
 The lesson about serving

00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:37.080
 and being served.

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.759
 So the disciples

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.700
 hadn't been willing

00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:40.960
 to do something

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.240
 that the Lord

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.580
 was willing to do

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:44.580
 for them.

00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:46.640
 The one who was the master

00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:49.000
 became the servant.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.800
 And Jesus says,

00:10:50.900 --> 00:10:52.300
 I'm leaving you an example

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:54.059
 that you should wash

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:55.579
 one another's feet.

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:57.419
 Now I think

00:10:57.419 --> 00:10:58.399
 as we look at this passage

00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.899
 we shouldn't take it

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.519
 that we literally need

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.279
 to wash one another's feet.

00:11:03.479 --> 00:11:04.279
 That's not something

00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.019
 in our culture

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:06.139
 is normally done.

00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.479
 We may do it

00:11:07.479 --> 00:11:08.539
 to demonstrate

00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:09.319
 our humility.

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.379
 I have nothing against that.

00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:11.439
 People want to do it.

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.559
 But it's not something

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.559
 we do particularly

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.279
 to serve others.

00:11:15.859 --> 00:11:16.339
 Perhaps my

00:11:16.339 --> 00:11:17.379
 dishwashing example

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.559
 is a little bit better

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.199
 from that point of view

00:11:20.199 --> 00:11:21.240
 as something

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:21.899
 that we might do

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:22.620
 to serve others

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.440
 although I don't think

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.639
 it gets quite to the heart

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.120
 of just how demeaning

00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:27.500
 washing someone's feet

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.720
 would have been seen

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.659
 to be.

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:30.740
 But the Lord

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:31.820
 is giving us an example

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:33.180
 and he's saying

00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:34.060
 you should follow

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:34.899
 my example

00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:36.879
 and you should be willing

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.820
 to serve others.

00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:39.740
 If I was willing

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:40.620
 to serve you

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:41.820
 then you need

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:43.320
 to serve others.

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.820
 And often

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.000
 you will serve them

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.840
 in unspectacular ways.

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.320
 I think all of us

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.100
 probably would like

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:50.580
 to be seen

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.340
 to be serving

00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:52.820
 in public ways

00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:53.759
 and to get

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.540
 recognition

00:11:54.540 --> 00:11:55.720
 for it.

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.240
 But the Lord

00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.639
 says we also

00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.519
 should be serving

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.240
 perhaps even more

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:00.899
 importantly

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:02.060
 should be serving

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:03.180
 when it's not seen

00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:04.600
 when it's difficult

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.360
 for us

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.500
 perhaps even

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.100
 when it dents

00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:08.100
 our pride a bit

00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:09.200
 because we have

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.060
 a love for the Lord

00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:10.440
 Jesus

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.040
 and that's reflected

00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:13.280
 in our love

00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:14.460
 for others.

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:17.019
 Jesus said

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:19.280
 in Luke's Gospel

00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:20.800
 the Son of Man

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:21.700
 did not come

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:22.500
 to serve

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:24.139
 but to be served

00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:25.340
 and to give

00:12:25.340 --> 00:12:25.960
 his life

00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:27.120
 as a ransom

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.120
 for many.

00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:30.660
 Did not come

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:31.379
 to serve

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:33.200
 but to be served.

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.160
 And he juxtaposed

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:36.040
 that directly

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:37.259
 with his giving

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:38.360
 of his life.

00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.240
 Not that it is

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:40.639
 on the same scale

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.139
 in terms of

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:41.780
 the sacrifice

00:12:41.780 --> 00:12:42.500
 he made

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:43.820
 but serving

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.940
 and being served

00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:46.379
 is really important

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:48.539
 to the Lord Jesus.

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:50.600
 In 1 John

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.320
 chapter 3

00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:52.320
 John writes this

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.879
 This is how we know

00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:54.720
 what love is.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.220
 Jesus Christ

00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:57.240
 laid down his life

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:57.820
 for us

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:59.200
 and we ought

00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.799
 to lay down

00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:00.620
 our lives

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:01.720
 for our brothers

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.019
 and sisters.

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:04.580
 If anyone

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:05.740
 has material possessions

00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:06.620
 and sees a brother

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.659
 or sister in need

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.879
 but has no pity

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.379
 on them

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.779
 how can the love

00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:11.299
 of God

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:12.700
 be in that

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:13.700
 person?

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:15.240
 Do you get

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:16.059
 the two verses

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:17.259
 that are connected

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.980
 so closely

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.779
 again here?

00:13:19.439 --> 00:13:20.299
 The one verse

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:21.039
 talking about

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.000
 the heroic

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.220
 we lay down

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:25.080
 our lives

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.000
 for our brothers

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.220
 and sisters.

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:29.039
 The other verse

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.700
 talking about

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.340
 the mundane

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:31.419
 the everyday

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:32.740
 seeing someone

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:33.559
 who is in need

00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:34.659
 and meeting

00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:36.419
 that need.

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:37.819
 and it's really

00:13:37.819 --> 00:13:38.360
 important

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:39.699
 if we're believers

00:13:39.699 --> 00:13:40.699
 in the Lord Jesus

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:42.219
 that we are willing

00:13:42.219 --> 00:13:43.259
 to serve others

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.299
 and we're willing

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:45.039
 to serve them

00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:45.799
 in ways that we

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.839
 might not find

00:13:46.839 --> 00:13:47.899
 very attractive

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:49.079
 and that might

00:13:49.079 --> 00:13:49.959
 also not be

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:51.000
 very publicly

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.179
 recognised.

00:13:53.819 --> 00:13:54.459
 One other thing

00:13:54.459 --> 00:13:55.819
 before we move on

00:13:55.819 --> 00:13:57.199
 I talked about

00:13:57.199 --> 00:13:57.719
 serving

00:13:57.719 --> 00:14:00.039
 and being served

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.439
 and that comes out

00:14:01.439 --> 00:14:02.360
 earlier in the passage

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.379
 in the Lord's

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:04.000
 conversation

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.199
 with Peter.

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.960
 Peter was offended

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.580
 that the Lord

00:14:07.580 --> 00:14:08.180
 should think

00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:09.180
 he would wash

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:10.720
 Peter's feet

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.540
 and yet Jesus

00:14:12.540 --> 00:14:13.120
 says

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.620
 unless I wash

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.300
 your feet

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:16.660
 you have no

00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:17.259
 part

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:18.480
 in me.

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:20.200
 Perhaps I could

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.080
 talk to a

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:21.840
 particular group

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.420
 this morning

00:14:22.420 --> 00:14:23.500
 of those

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.800
 whose natural

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:25.560
 inclination

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:26.980
 in the church

00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:27.580
 perhaps in the

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:28.320
 home as well

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.140
 is to serve

00:14:30.140 --> 00:14:31.660
 who don't need

00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:32.660
 the exhortation

00:14:32.660 --> 00:14:34.440
 to serve others

00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.000
 because they

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.500
 do it

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.340
 and they do

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:36.960
 it with real

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.380
 love

00:14:37.380 --> 00:14:38.340
 and real

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.240
 care.

00:14:40.460 --> 00:14:40.940
 And yet for

00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:41.980
 you, for any

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:42.420
 of us

00:14:42.420 --> 00:14:43.600
 in that position

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.020
 it is very

00:14:45.020 --> 00:14:45.700
 important that

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.400
 we are also

00:14:46.400 --> 00:14:47.800
 willing to be

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:48.680
 served.

00:14:49.160 --> 00:14:49.960
 To be served

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.620
 by Jesus

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:52.320
 and to be served

00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:53.360
 by others

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.500
 representing

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.380
 him.

00:14:56.140 --> 00:14:56.660
 Remember the

00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:57.140
 story in Luke

00:14:57.140 --> 00:14:57.860
 chapter 10

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:58.880
 Jesus goes to

00:14:58.880 --> 00:14:59.540
 the house of

00:14:59.540 --> 00:15:00.420
 Martha and Mary

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:01.139
 Mary and

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:01.599
 Martha is

00:15:01.599 --> 00:15:02.199
 really busy

00:15:02.199 --> 00:15:02.919
 preparing the

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.259
 meal.

00:15:03.699 --> 00:15:04.019
 Mary is

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:04.419
 sitting at

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:04.659
 Jesus'

00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:05.199
 feet and

00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:05.740
 Martha gets

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.199
 more and

00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:06.899
 more upset

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:07.939
 at what's

00:15:07.939 --> 00:15:08.279
 happening.

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:08.979
 Eventually she

00:15:08.979 --> 00:15:09.659
 says to

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:10.000
 Jesus, why

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.500
 don't you do

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:10.979
 something about

00:15:10.979 --> 00:15:11.199
 this?

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:12.039
 Tell her to

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:12.599
 help me.

00:15:13.599 --> 00:15:13.899
 And Jesus

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:14.519
 says, Martha

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:15.120
 you're worried

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.139
 about many

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:17.939
 things but

00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.299
 one thing is

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:20.979
 important and

00:15:20.979 --> 00:15:21.740
 that is what

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:23.599
 Mary is doing.

00:15:24.219 --> 00:15:24.919
 She is sitting

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.719
 at my feet

00:15:25.719 --> 00:15:27.480
 learning from

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:27.779
 me.

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.100
 However busy

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:29.580
 we are,

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.720
 however much

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.500
 we may serve

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.580
 the Lord and

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:33.240
 we may serve

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:34.600
 others, it's

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:35.320
 really important

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:35.960
 that we spend

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.560
 time with

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:38.039
 Jesus, letting

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:39.159
 him minister

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.560
 to us and

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:41.180
 also that we

00:15:41.180 --> 00:15:41.920
 let others

00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:43.019
 perform their

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:44.460
 service and

00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:45.500
 to serve us

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:47.240
 at times as

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.639
 well.

00:15:48.420 --> 00:15:50.039
 Serving and

00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:51.940
 being served.

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:53.639
 Second thing

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:54.019
 I want to

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:55.360
 think about is

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.940
 clean feet and

00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:58.340
 clean hearts.

00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.820
 And that is

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:01.540
 the discussion

00:16:01.540 --> 00:16:02.180
 that the Lord

00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:03.180
 Jesus has

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:03.900
 earlier on

00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:04.840
 with Peter.

00:16:05.400 --> 00:16:06.140
 This discussion

00:16:06.140 --> 00:16:06.700
 that seems to

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:07.040
 be about

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:07.820
 washing feet

00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:08.820
 and having a

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:09.920
 bath but

00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:10.720
 actually very

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.820
 clearly is

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.400
 about being

00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:13.640
 clean or

00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:15.420
 dirty inside.

00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:16.800
 Now the

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:17.920
 relevance of

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.420
 the passage

00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:19.000
 from Psalm

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.200
 51 that

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:20.700
 Lynn read

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:21.280
 for us

00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:22.180
 earlier.

00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.520
 Where David

00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:24.260
 has committed

00:16:24.260 --> 00:16:25.720
 a sin and

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.700
 he feels

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:28.660
 really dirty.

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:30.360
 He feels

00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:30.879
 that he is

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.900
 soiled inside

00:16:31.900 --> 00:16:32.980
 and that he

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.860
 needs to be

00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:34.580
 cleaned.

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.000
 Look at the

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.300
 language.

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:36.879
 Wash away

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:37.320
 all my

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.680
 iniquity and

00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:39.360
 cleanse me

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:39.920
 from my

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:40.180
 sin.

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:40.740
 Cleanse me

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:41.400
 with hyssop

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:42.500
 and I will

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.100
 be clean.

00:16:43.900 --> 00:16:44.440
 Wash me

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.759
 and I will

00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.560
 be whiter

00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:48.000
 than snow.

00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:49.720
 Now David

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.200
 had just

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:50.660
 committed

00:16:50.660 --> 00:16:51.360
 adultery.

00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:53.540
 Bathsheba

00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.000
 had become

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.220
 pregnant and

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:56.659
 to hide the

00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:57.080
 fact that

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.480
 David was

00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:57.960
 the father

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:58.240
 he had

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.779
 arranged to

00:16:58.779 --> 00:16:59.120
 have her

00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.980
 husband killed

00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:01.100
 in battle.

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.200
 So he was

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:02.980
 quite justified

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:04.079
 in feeling

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.539
 really dirty

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.720
 inside.

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:07.779
 And there

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:08.119
 are some

00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:08.880
 sins I

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.220
 think that

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:09.700
 make us

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.660
 feel dirty

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:12.160
 inside as

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:12.539
 well.

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.279
 Sexual sin

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:15.099
 whether with

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.619
 our body,

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:16.880
 our eyes or

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.480
 our mind

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.559
 may well make

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.099
 us feel

00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:19.880
 dirty.

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.619
 Addictions

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:22.399
 could make

00:17:22.399 --> 00:17:22.759
 us feel

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.419
 dirty including

00:17:23.419 --> 00:17:23.899
 addictive

00:17:23.899 --> 00:17:24.359
 habits,

00:17:24.479 --> 00:17:25.219
 perhaps perpetual

00:17:25.219 --> 00:17:25.859
 dishonesty

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:26.519
 telling little

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.839
 lies repeatedly.

00:17:28.199 --> 00:17:28.959
 These kind of

00:17:28.959 --> 00:17:29.399
 things we

00:17:29.399 --> 00:17:30.219
 recognise are

00:17:30.219 --> 00:17:31.239
 wrong and

00:17:31.239 --> 00:17:31.639
 they make

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:32.279
 us feel

00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:33.099
 dirty

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:34.379
 inside.

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.259
 But really

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:37.459
 all sin

00:17:37.459 --> 00:17:38.639
 makes us

00:17:38.639 --> 00:17:39.439
 dirty.

00:17:40.479 --> 00:17:41.099
 Did you

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:41.939
 notice when

00:17:41.939 --> 00:17:42.419
 we had the

00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:43.819
 passage from

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:44.779
 Matthew 23

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:46.199
 about Jesus

00:17:46.199 --> 00:17:47.159
 talking about

00:17:47.159 --> 00:17:48.099
 the Pharisees

00:17:48.099 --> 00:17:49.339
 and the

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:50.239
 dirt that

00:17:50.239 --> 00:17:50.599
 was in

00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:51.000
 them?

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:52.319
 What was

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.979
 it that

00:17:52.979 --> 00:17:53.719
 made them

00:17:53.719 --> 00:17:54.539
 dirty?

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.019
 It was

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:57.719
 greed and

00:17:57.719 --> 00:17:58.799
 self-indulgence.

00:17:59.779 --> 00:18:00.059
 Ouch.

00:18:01.379 --> 00:18:01.739
 And then

00:18:01.739 --> 00:18:02.179
 Paul in

00:18:02.179 --> 00:18:02.739
 his letters.

00:18:03.399 --> 00:18:04.079
 In several

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.399
 of his

00:18:04.399 --> 00:18:05.239
 letters he

00:18:05.239 --> 00:18:05.779
 has a list

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.239
 of things

00:18:06.239 --> 00:18:06.439
 that

00:18:06.439 --> 00:18:07.119
 characterise

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:07.619
 those who

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:08.119
 are living

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.899
 by the

00:18:08.899 --> 00:18:09.359
 flesh.

00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:10.559
 A list

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.919
 of sins.

00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:13.559
 And

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:14.699
 among them

00:18:14.699 --> 00:18:15.299
 there are

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:15.679
 many of

00:18:15.679 --> 00:18:16.159
 the kind

00:18:16.159 --> 00:18:16.739
 that we

00:18:16.739 --> 00:18:17.899
 might expect

00:18:17.899 --> 00:18:18.659
 to see

00:18:18.659 --> 00:18:19.000
 there.

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.239
 There are

00:18:20.239 --> 00:18:21.059
 the sexual

00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:21.599
 sins that

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.439
 society

00:18:22.439 --> 00:18:23.079
 looks at

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:23.619
 perhaps not

00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:23.959
 so much

00:18:23.959 --> 00:18:24.419
 these days

00:18:24.419 --> 00:18:24.819
 but looks

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:25.139
 at

00:18:25.139 --> 00:18:26.039
 askance

00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:27.339
 and recognises

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:28.339
 that they

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.419
 are wrong.

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:31.339
 But then

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:31.699
 there are

00:18:31.699 --> 00:18:32.519
 things like

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.279
 greed

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.179
 and envy

00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:36.459
 and loose

00:18:36.459 --> 00:18:36.919
 talk.

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:38.339
 Ouch.

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.500
 Because these

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.000
 are things

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.059
 also that all

00:18:41.059 --> 00:18:41.599
 of us might

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.559
 be aware of

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.240
 in our lives

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.059
 but don't

00:18:44.059 --> 00:18:44.579
 take too

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:45.000
 seriously.

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.939
 Paul says

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.840
 these make

00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:47.460
 us dirty

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:48.779
 as well.

00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:50.500
 All sin

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:51.400
 makes us

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:52.220
 dirty before

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:53.320
 God and

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:53.820
 makes us

00:18:53.820 --> 00:18:54.940
 subject to

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:55.539
 God's

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:56.420
 punishment.

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:57.799
 That's the

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.340
 bad news.

00:18:59.380 --> 00:18:59.880
 The good

00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:00.980
 news is

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.519
 that all

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:01.880
 of our

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.860
 sins can

00:19:02.860 --> 00:19:03.440
 be forgiven

00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.420
 through the

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.480
 death of

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:05.820
 the Lord

00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:06.180
 Jesus.

00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:07.720
 There is

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.140
 none of

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:08.880
 us that

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.259
 is too

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:10.180
 bad to

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:10.759
 be forgiven.

00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.059
 There is

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.740
 no sin

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.480
 that God

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:13.900
 is not

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.500
 willing to

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:14.980
 forgive

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.799
 because of

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:16.079
 Jesus'

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:16.960
 sacrifice

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:17.799
 on the

00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:18.200
 cross

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:19.259
 if we

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:20.339
 confess it

00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:21.240
 to him.

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.660
 1 John

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:23.240
 chapter 1

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:23.740
 verse 7

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.240
 says the

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:24.879
 blood of

00:19:24.879 --> 00:19:25.640
 Jesus his

00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:26.099
 son

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:27.400
 purifies

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:27.879
 us

00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.680
 from

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.259
 all

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:30.299
 sin.

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.019
 Now in

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.619
 this passage

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.599
 clearly there

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:33.879
 are two

00:19:33.879 --> 00:19:34.700
 types of

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:35.000
 washing

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:35.779
 that Jesus

00:19:35.779 --> 00:19:36.480
 talks about.

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.480
 There is

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.079
 feet washing

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.140
 and there

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:39.720
 is whole

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.400
 body washing.

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.880
 So Jesus

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.340
 says to

00:19:41.340 --> 00:19:41.720
 Peter you

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:42.160
 must let

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.500
 me wash

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:42.880
 your feet

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.140
 if you

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.400
 want to

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:43.820
 be part

00:19:43.820 --> 00:19:44.060
 of me

00:19:44.060 --> 00:19:44.280
 if you

00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:44.500
 want to

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:44.820
 be my

00:19:44.820 --> 00:19:45.320
 disciple.

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.160
 And Peter

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:46.540
 says well

00:19:46.540 --> 00:19:46.940
 then wash

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:47.280
 my whole

00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:48.019
 body please

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:48.780
 Lord.

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:49.920
 And Jesus

00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:50.620
 says no

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:51.759
 if someone's

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.500
 had a bath

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:53.420
 they only

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:54.340
 need their

00:19:54.340 --> 00:19:55.660
 feet washed.

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:57.019
 Now in

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:57.500
 this the Lord

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:58.000
 Jesus in

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.400
 talking about

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:58.960
 someone having

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.660
 had a bath

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.440
 is talking

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.280
 about us

00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:01.759
 coming to

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.519
 him for

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.100
 salvation

00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:04.140
 to begin

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:04.540
 with.

00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:05.700
 Recognising

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:06.240
 our sin

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:06.880
 recognising

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.420
 the dirt

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:08.140
 within us

00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:09.259
 and recognising

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:09.980
 it only by

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.700
 his blood

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:11.860
 can we be

00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:13.339
 purified from

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:14.059
 our sins.

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.319
 It symbolises

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.960
 isn't it in

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.440
 baptism.

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.180
 Baptism

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:18.380
 one of the

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:19.079
 pictures it

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.759
 presents to us

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.440
 is dirt being

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:20.839
 washed from

00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:21.319
 the body

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.460
 symbolising

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.700
 dirt being

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:24.180
 washed from

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:24.880
 the inside

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:25.720
 as we

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.620
 trust in

00:20:26.620 --> 00:20:26.980
 the Lord

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.360
 Jesus.

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.539
 So there's

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.120
 that once

00:20:29.120 --> 00:20:29.720
 for all

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:30.720
 time when

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.140
 we come

00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:31.599
 and confess

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.360
 our sins

00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:33.160
 and trust

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.460
 in the

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.019
 Lord Jesus

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.960
 and have

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.579
 our sins

00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:36.480
 forgiven.

00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.500
 but our

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:38.759
 feet

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.420
 constantly

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.900
 get

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.720
 dirty

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.299
 or perhaps

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:42.960
 in the

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:43.299
 time of

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.680
 coronavirus

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.240
 we could

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.559
 say our

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:44.940
 hands

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.700
 get dirty

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:46.019
 we need

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.339
 to keep

00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:46.660
 washing

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:47.200
 our hands

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.019
 regularly

00:20:48.019 --> 00:20:48.860
 to make

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:49.339
 sure they

00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:50.120
 don't become

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:51.259
 contaminated

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:52.819
 and Jesus

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:53.339
 says we

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:54.019
 need that

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:54.740
 kind of

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.240
 regular

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:55.700
 washing

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:57.019
 as well.

00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.559
 Yes we're

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.319
 clean inside

00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.579
 through his

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:01.180
 death for

00:21:01.180 --> 00:21:02.420
 us but

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:03.099
 we do get

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.680
 contaminated

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.839
 by society

00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:05.539
 around about

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:06.420
 us and

00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:06.839
 by our

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.400
 own sinful

00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.460
 nature that

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:09.000
 is still

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.859
 in us.

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.960
 So we need

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.740
 to constantly

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.379
 be coming

00:21:12.379 --> 00:21:13.579
 and confessing

00:21:13.579 --> 00:21:14.039
 our sins

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.599
 to Jesus

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:15.740
 and being

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.319
 renewed

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.519
 in our

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:17.900
 fellowship

00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:18.500
 with him

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.440
 being made

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:19.940
 again

00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:20.900
 completely

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:22.080
 clean.

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:23.600
 A couple

00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:23.900
 of verses

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:24.240
 on from

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.480
 the one

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:24.759
 I quote

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:24.960
 to the

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.259
 menisco

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:26.360
 1 John

00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:26.900
 chapter 1

00:21:26.900 --> 00:21:27.620
 verse 9

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.680
 John writes

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.420
 if we confess

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.180
 our sins

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:31.519
 he is faithful

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:32.380
 and just

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.299
 and will

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.920
 forgive us

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.580
 our sins

00:21:34.580 --> 00:21:35.820
 and purify

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.940
 us from

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:37.480
 all

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.120
 unrighteousness.

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.000
 So I challenge

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.860
 us this morning

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:43.500
 have we had

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:44.480
 that initial

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.259
 cleansing

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:46.160
 through the

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.680
 blood of the

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:47.180
 Lord Jesus

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.120
 coming to him

00:21:48.120 --> 00:21:48.980
 in repentance

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.680
 and faith

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.799
 being forgiven

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.799
 for our

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:52.220
 sins

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:53.620
 and if so

00:21:53.620 --> 00:21:54.680
 do we have

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:55.360
 that experience

00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:56.019
 regularly

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.940
 of coming

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.480
 to him

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:58.480
 confessing

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.200
 our sins

00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.759
 feeling again

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.360
 the purity

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:01.980
 that comes

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.680
 through his

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:03.080
 blood

00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:04.000
 and being

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.560
 restored

00:22:04.560 --> 00:22:05.500
 to fellowship

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:06.720
 with him.

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.640
 One last

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:09.000
 point

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.900
 three times

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:11.420
 in this

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:12.019
 passage

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.740
 Judas

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.980
 is referred

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.320
 to.

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.900
 Very much

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:16.600
 in John's

00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:16.920
 mind

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:18.039
 mind

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.500
 and in

00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:20.720
 Jesus'

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.259
 mind

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:22.400
 is the fact

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:23.740
 that there

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:23.820
 doesn't really

00:22:23.820 --> 00:22:24.400
 belong.

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:25.420
 The other

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:25.900
 disciples

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:26.460
 ran aware

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:26.720
 of it

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.000
 at the

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.220
 time.

00:22:27.300 --> 00:22:27.560
 As far

00:22:27.560 --> 00:22:27.779
 as they

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:28.420
 were concerned

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:28.980
 Judas

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:29.560
 was one

00:22:29.560 --> 00:22:30.120
 of them

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.259
 but in

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:31.739
 reality

00:22:31.739 --> 00:22:32.239
 Satan

00:22:32.239 --> 00:22:32.739
 had entered

00:22:32.739 --> 00:22:33.039
 into

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.539
 Judas

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:34.479
 Judas

00:22:34.479 --> 00:22:35.339
 was not

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:36.079
 clean

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.879
 like the

00:22:36.879 --> 00:22:37.239
 other

00:22:37.239 --> 00:22:38.299
 disciples.

00:22:39.239 --> 00:22:39.919
 And I think

00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:40.399
 that's a very

00:22:40.399 --> 00:22:41.619
 sobering thought

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:42.599
 for us.

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.799
 And we

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.159
 should be

00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:44.579
 examining

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.199
 ourselves

00:22:45.199 --> 00:22:46.279
 and saying

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:47.119
 am I

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.039
 one of

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.619
 Jesus'

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.000
 disciples?

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.079
 disciples?

00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:52.140
 Quite often

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:52.539
 when we

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:52.960
 preach

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.859
 we say

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.799
 if you're

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:55.279
 a Christian

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:55.779
 then here's

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.079
 a lesson

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.619
 for you

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:57.279
 if you're

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.619
 not a

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.000
 Christian

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.960
 then here's

00:22:58.960 --> 00:22:59.299
 something

00:22:59.299 --> 00:23:00.039
 you should

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:00.720
 think about.

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:02.000
 And perhaps

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.799
 some of us

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.299
 when it comes

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.579
 to a bit

00:23:03.579 --> 00:23:03.960
 that says

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:04.279
 if you're

00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:04.599
 not a

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:04.900
 Christian

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:05.279
 we kind

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.680
 of mentally

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.259
 turn off

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:06.960
 and think

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.740
 that doesn't

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:09.160
 apply to

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:09.500
 me.

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.099
 But all

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:11.420
 of us

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.799
 need to

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.180
 examine

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.799
 ourselves

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.960
 and say

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.680
 am I

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.400
 really

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.319
 one of

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.380
 the Lord's

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:17.960
 disciples?

00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:19.079
 Have I

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.819
 really got

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:20.500
 his

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.539
 salvation?

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:23.399
 2 Corinthians

00:23:23.399 --> 00:23:24.279
 chapter 13

00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:25.259
 in verse 5

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:26.259
 Paul writes

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:27.419
 examine

00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:27.899
 yourself

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.799
 to see

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.460
 whether

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.839
 you're

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.159
 in the

00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:30.599
 faith.

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.079
 Test

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.720
 yourselves.

00:23:33.639 --> 00:23:34.039
 Now Paul

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.500
 is thinking

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:34.960
 that most

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.259
 of the

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:35.659
 Corinthians

00:23:35.659 --> 00:23:36.439
 when they

00:23:36.439 --> 00:23:37.019
 apply that

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.439
 test to

00:23:37.439 --> 00:23:37.799
 themselves

00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:38.379
 will decide

00:23:38.379 --> 00:23:38.759
 that yes

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.079
 indeed

00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:39.480
 they are

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:39.740
 in the

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.059
 faith

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:40.659
 they are

00:23:40.659 --> 00:23:41.240
 Christians

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:42.059
 and will

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.639
 then conclude

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:43.240
 from that

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:44.220
 that Paul's

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:44.639
 ministry

00:23:44.639 --> 00:23:45.699
 is valid

00:23:45.699 --> 00:23:46.519
 as he

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:46.939
 says

00:23:46.939 --> 00:23:47.859
 it is.

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:49.500
 But he

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:49.799
 does

00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.179
 envisage

00:23:50.179 --> 00:23:50.399
 the

00:23:50.399 --> 00:23:50.879
 possibility

00:23:50.879 --> 00:23:52.099
 that there

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.480
 will be

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:52.879
 some

00:23:52.879 --> 00:23:53.559
 who are

00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:53.960
 not

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:54.699
 truly

00:23:54.699 --> 00:23:55.720
 Christians

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.859
 that they're

00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:57.319
 not in

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:57.899
 the faith

00:23:57.899 --> 00:23:58.799
 that they

00:23:58.799 --> 00:23:59.599
 haven't got

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.199
 salvation

00:24:00.199 --> 00:24:01.299
 through the

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:01.879
 Lord Jesus

00:24:01.879 --> 00:24:03.539
 and I

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.039
 would suggest

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:04.740
 to everyone

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.799
 this morning

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.720
 that we

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.240
 examine

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:07.939
 ourselves

00:24:07.939 --> 00:24:09.579
 that we

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:10.240
 see whether

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.720
 we are

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.159
 truly

00:24:11.159 --> 00:24:11.939
 the

00:24:11.939 --> 00:24:12.559
 Lord's

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.619
 is our

00:24:13.619 --> 00:24:14.039
 faith

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.839
 completely

00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:15.480
 in him

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:16.240
 for our

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.779
 salvation

00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:17.740
 for the

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:18.180
 forgiveness

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:19.299
 of our

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:19.779
 sins

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.819
 and if

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:21.059
 we can

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.440
 see it

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:21.779
 is

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.759
 where is

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:22.920
 the

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.440
 evidence

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.819
 in a

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.420
 transformed

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:24.940
 life

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:26.200
 in the

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:27.039
 behaviours

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:27.879
 in the

00:24:27.879 --> 00:24:28.259
 love

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.960
 that we

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.379
 show

00:24:29.379 --> 00:24:30.440
 to others

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.039
 examine

00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:32.639
 yourself

00:24:32.639 --> 00:24:33.740
 to see

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:34.319
 whether you

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:35.460
 are in

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:36.639
 the faith

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:38.420
 a basin

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:39.480
 and a

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:39.759
 towel

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.279
 serving

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.000
 and being

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:43.599
 served

00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.259
 clean feet

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:46.639
 and clean

00:24:46.639 --> 00:24:47.680
 hearts

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.920
 if we

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:49.420
 belong to

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:49.779
 the Lord

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.119
 Jesus

00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:51.000
 let's

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.559
 follow his

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.079
 example

00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:53.359
 let's go

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.059
 and during

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:54.680
 this week

00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:55.519
 let us

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:56.559
 serve others

00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:57.660
 in any way

00:24:57.660 --> 00:24:58.500
 that we

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:58.899
 can

00:24:58.899 --> 00:25:00.160
 and let

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.779
 all of us

00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:01.700
 make sure

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:02.200
 that we are

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:03.500
 clean inside

00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:04.759
 clean through

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.879
 faith in

00:25:05.879 --> 00:25:06.240
 the Lord

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:06.599
 Jesus

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.099
 and have

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:08.980

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.819
 figuratively

00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:11.059
 as well

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:11.879
 that we

00:25:11.879 --> 00:25:12.639
 confess our

00:25:12.639 --> 00:25:13.119
 sins to

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.259
 him

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:13.859
 regularly

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:14.799
 and know

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:15.279
 again

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:16.359
 that experience

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:16.899
 of his

00:25:16.899 --> 00:25:17.379
 forgiveness

00:25:17.379 --> 00:25:18.480
 and of

00:25:20.139 --> 00:25:22.259
 let's pray

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.659
 together

00:25:22.659 --> 00:25:23.639
 and for a

00:25:23.639 --> 00:25:24.119
 prayer I

00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:24.599
 want to

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.220

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:25.980
 words of

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.319
 an old

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:26.659
 chorus

00:25:26.659 --> 00:25:27.059
 and let's

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.720
 apply them

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:28.799
 to ourselves

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:32.720
 from my

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.519
