Happy happy birthday Kuya Sam Samson— Agape Treasurer
Yesterday right here at “The Message” we completed Chapter 12 with the story about the belief and unbelief of among the Jewish— from it we learned 4 biblical principles to live by:
I WILL PROFESS MY FAITH IN GOD EVEN PEOPLE REJECTS ME
I WILL PLEASE GOD RATHER THAN PLEASE PEOPLE
JESUS CAME TO SAVE THE WORLD, HE WILL RETURN TO JUDGE IT
I WILL FAITHFULLY WALK IN THE LIGHT OF HIS COMMANDS
Today we will begin with the Chapter 13 [Yehey! after this there will only 8 chapters left for the gospel of John]
Open your Bible to JOHN 13:1-7, and once you get there, type Amen!

1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

THE DEVIL HAD ALREADY PROMPTED JUDAS
It was and it will always be the devil that will prompt us to do bad things
The devil refers to the enemy, the tempter, the oppressor, the thief— JOHN 10:10
THE FATHER HAD PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS POWER
John tells us that Jesus is not acting as an ordinary person— He is acting as the Son of God— this makes the sacrifice all the more profound
HE HAD COME FROM GOD AND WAS RETURNING TO GOD
John is clear that Jesus came from God the Father
Jesus knows His identity in God, yet He will choose to die because of God’s love for people— JOHN 3:16
YOU DO NOT REALIZE NOW WHAT I AM DOING, BUT LATER YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
Not until Jesus dies and is resurrected will His disciples full understand His mission and role in the world
A lot of things happens in our live that we do not understand while they’re happening— but when God brings you to the climax of what He is doing, you will understand and you will be in awe
