The Last Gospel: A Survey of John

From chapter 12 to chapter 13 of John’s Gospel, we move into the second half of this book. The first 12 chapters of John all concern Jesus’ public ministry, where He sought out a wide range of men and women who would believe. As we move into chapter 13, we shift our attention to Jesus’ private ministry. For the next five chapters, Jesus is alone with His disciples, before Jesus’ final glorification in the final few chapters.

This week, we look at a quintessential story of Jesus. Jesus weaves together the truth of His upcoming sacrificial death and a model of true servanthood. He does this by lowering Himself to wash the feet of His disciples. There are so many implications here to explore – from Jesus’ mission and purpose, to the way He desires for His followers to live, to what exactly He is trying to teach us about receiving from Him. Join us as we explore this story together!
