Now is the time of Jesus’s hour. Now is the time of Jesus’s glory. John 13-19 focuses on one night or 24 hours of Jesus’s life. It starts on the evening, typically called Maundy Thursday, stretching into Good Friday.
What Jesus shares with his disciples in John 13-17 are all at that last supper Passover meal. This final “will & testament” by Jesus is all the more significant when we realize it’s the final things he’ll share before he dies.
What’s the last thing you would share with those you love?
Jesus starts by imparting the necessity to be clean. Just because you “followed” him does not make you clean, and to truly follow Jesus is to serve God by serving others, even in suffering. We are not above the master but are called to be like him.
While not a “sign” like the other signs in John, Jesus shows this by washing his disciples’ feet. We’re now in Part 2 of John, the Book of Glory. Here we see that glory equals serving and humility, not being served by others in grandiosity.
