1 It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. 2 The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, 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." 8 "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." 9 "Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!" 10 Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. 12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. 13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
In 3 months time...
1) What do you see yourself growing in?
2) What role do you see yourself playing in cell?
Last night cell was a time of fun, fellowship and interesting strolling holding our lanterns viewing sunnydale condominium in its cool night breeze~ ^-^ And after finishing a very very delicious serving of homemade/handmade Bee Hoon that was filled with love@_@, sweat-_-" and ^o^hard work of a faithful servant of God, , as well as other wonderful food gathered by everyone; we had a time to bless each other with positive word, words of encouragement and for several, words of affirmations and thanks~ (\*^o^*/)
Like what was shared last night, this is a beginning of something great. And indeed multiplications are a natural course to take for us christians, for the advancement of our Lord's Kingdom. As we are moving into a new chapter, a new season, we look into scriptures where is describes the role of which we are truely called to play. The role of a servant. So, as Jesus washed his disciples feet, and thereafter calling us to do as he did:serve. I encourage all sunnydalers as well as mimosa walkers to grow in this area. It is not a position of glory; it is a call to glorify God. Hold on to the vision you have casted for yourself, and after 3 months, really look for it hard, and open to discover for yourself, what you have commited in prayer unto God. See for yourself his faithfulness and the potential of what he can do in your life.
So dear brothers and sisters in christ, may our lives be a wonderful testimony that we would share when we reach heaven~ ^-^
And no worries!!! We would still see each other at YAS!!! ^o^*
Shalom~
