It is a direct command to wash each other's feet as Jesus did.

  1. We are His children. Romans 8:16.
  2. Children should be obedient. 1 Peter 1:13-16.

Christ gave many commands. We are lonly looking at three commands today.

 B. To serve one another. Philippians 2:1-4,5
  1. His example. John 13:14-16
  2. His love constrains us. 2 Corinthians 5:14
 C. To share the gospel with one another. Matthew 28:19,20
  1. With family. Acts 1:8 Ye shall be witnesses.
  2. With friends.
  3. With the world.

III. We Receive The Very Life of Christ By Faith Matthew 26:26-28

 A. He will motivate us in service. 2 Corinthians 10:5 Acts, words and thoughts brought into obedience to Christ.
 B. He will guide us in victory. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Christ always causes us to triumph.
 C. The Lord is my Helper. Hebrews 12:6 He corrects us because we are his children.
