Friday Night Devotional by Mike Dai, 1/30/2016
As those in the inner-most circle of Jesus, the disciples were certainly familiar with His remarkable works. In John’s gospel alone, they witnessed Jesus heal a paralytic man, multiply fish and bread to feed five thousand, walk on water, and raise Lazarus from the dead. In John 13, on the day before His crucifixion, Jesus and His disciples gathered together for the Feast of the Passover in the upper room, where Jesus would do something equally astonishing to His miraculous works.
“[Jesus] rose from supper. He laid aside His outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around His waist. Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet…” (Jn 13:4-5)
