If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. John 13:14 (NKJV) When Jesus walked the planet, He modeled how to love others. When you love someone, you are aware of their needs, and no task is too menial. One powerful demonstration of this principle was the time Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. One day Jesus and His disciples gathered together for a meal, but no one was available to wash feet, which was their custom. When Jesus came into the room, He recognized the problem right away. Since no one else was taking up the task, He grabbed a towel, put it over His arm and began to wash feet. When you love someone, …

Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! Romans 5:18–19 (The Message) Because of what Jesus did for us, you have the opportunity to get in on God’s grace. What is grace? Grace is God’s power, ability, unearned favour and full provision for your life, and it’s freely yours if you’ve made Jesus your Lord and Saviour. Because of this grace, this free gift, you have a relationship with God. You are one hundred percent right with Him, and you’re going to spend eternity in heaven …

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17 (NKJV) Jesus’ finished work of the cross brought us peace. When Jesus was born, the angels sang of peace on earth and good will toward men (Luke 2:14). They didn’t add, “If you keep my law.” Jesus came to restore the relationship between God and humanity so, when you accept Christ, you are at peace with God. Under the old covenant, people couldn’t know this peace that surpasses all understanding. They were always left to wonder if they were good enough for God. But now, when we accept Christ, nothing stands between God and us. However, just because you have …

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” John 14:9 (NKJV) If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. In John 14:9, Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father. Jesus’ response was, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?” (NKJV). In other words, if you’ve heard what Jesus is like, you know what God is like! People tend to forget this. They’ll accept that Jesus loves them because He died for us, but then they think that they have to earn God’s love …

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. Hebrews 1:1–2 (NKJV) Because of what Jesus accomplished for us, believers have the ability hear from God directly. In Hebrews 1:1–2, it says that God spoke through prophets in various ways in the past. He even spoke through a donkey one time, if you read Numbers 22, but now He speaks to us primarily through His Word and His Spirit. Some think God isn’t speaking to them unless they have some type of spectacular experience. Others think that they need …
