Good morning. We were with Jesus washing the disciples’
feet. He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He had said, not
all of you are clean. Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher
and Lord; and you are right, or so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher
washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. I gave you an
example that you should also do as I did to you. A slave is not greater than
his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. In other
words, if Jesus did it, we should not think it beneath ourselves to do it to
our brethren. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. I do
not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the
Scripture may be fulfilled, he who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against
Me. If we knew that someone was going to betray us, we would not allow them to
be with us, much less eat our food. From now on I am telling you before it
comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. He who
receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who
sent Me. Father be with the reader today. Help him/her to trust in You. Give him/her
peace.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
