M. » MEMORY SELECTION—A new comniandnient I give unto you. that X* “** on* another, as i have loved you that ye also love one another.—John 13 a* On the eve of his crucifixion our Lord gave to his followers a sinking example of how true humility shows itself in service to others. Almost in the shadow of the cross the disciples had fallen into an argument about which of them should be greatest Christ showed them the way of true greatness by an act of menial service, giving them an example for their own lives, a pattern of love I. Action tvv. 3-11). He who was about to wash his disciples feet was fully conscious who he was. whence he came, what his power was, and where he was going Verse 3 gives us a clear view of our Lord's knowledge of himself as divine, sent by the Father and o return to him. He was conscious that he was King of kings and Lord of lords—ail things had been put into his hands What followed would seem to be a mistake—a misfit in the pattern of the life of a being so great as the one described in verse 3—except for the fact that it was Jesus of whom it was said He knew that real greatness proves itself in the ability to stoop if need be to minister to the humblest need. It was just like Jesus to take the place of the servant. It is just like him to do the loving, thoughtful, compassionate thing for us today. Peter's impulsive refusal to be washed enabled the Lord to teach him. and us. a needed lesson. The one who had come clean and wellgroomed to the feast needed only to have the dust of the road cleansed from his sandaled feet. Just so the one who has been cleansed from his sins by the blood of Christ returns daily for the cleansing of the stains and soil of the journey through this wicked world. We must remember that this constant cleansing (I John 1:7) is necessary It is not enough to make a decision for Christ and receive salvation; we need his daily grace for daily living 11. Example (W. 12-15). When he resumed his place at the table, Jesus faced a humbled and ashamed group of men ready to have driven home to their hearts the powerful meaning of the example which had been set before them. I They called him Ixird and Mas- I ter, and he agreed that they were ' right. Now he had set them a pat- : tern of lowly service. They had al- | ready sensed the rebuke involved, so he stressed only the positive side, the need for them to do what he had done It is one thing to understand what has been taught, it is another thing to put it into practice. Jesus conditioned his blessing on the doing, rather than the hearing (see vv If, 17). We are told in James 1:22 that the one who is a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it is selfdeceived He is fooling himself about his supposed spiritual progress God is not deceived by it. and usually his fellow men are not deceived by his profession of what he does not have. How sad then to go on deceiving himself and how fool- 1 Ish. 111. < emmand 'w. 34. 35) K is really not a matter of choice I for the believer whether he will live I in the light of this great example— : it is a commandment of God Oh. yes. it is a commandment of love. I but that makes it not less but more ' binding on us who believe in Christ. By act and example he set before his disc pies the great and new commandment of love, expressing it•elf in loving service. The measure of our love for our brethren is the love of Christ Jesus. That love, we all agree, was without limit, unbelievably great, inexptessibly tender, infinite in its purpose and power. We cannot measure up to it What ' then shall we do" Surely w* must ' give to our very limit and beyond ! that limit by God s grace, of our ' love for one another. Nothing less I v> >U do. if we are to keep his commandrnent. Sueh love between Christian brethren has always been the most effective kind of testimony for Christ. As men see true and sacrificial love shewn between Christiana, they are drawn to Christ and the church Th* opposite is also true. Divisions and strife among believers quickly become known to the world, •nd are always a ground for scornful rejection of the truth which the church professes to believe and la asking the world to accept We cannot effectively apply the gospel rzmedy 'and it u the only remedy’) to a strife-torn world while we are angaged in unkmely battles with one another.
