GOS-13 - The First Lord's Supper

As we turn to John 13, we enter into that night of nights. It is Christ's last night on earth. It is Passover time and the Seder meal that both Christ and His disciples had participated in from their earliest childhood. Tonight the disciples came troubled, unfocused, arguing, and out of step with Jesus. They had everything on their minds but Him.

That is the constant struggle that He had with them.

• They thought of Earth as He talked of Heaven.
• They thought of others as He pointed to them.
• They were self focused when He asked for them to think of others.

John 13 is Christ's lesson on how to prepare for meeting Him at His Supper. Jesus teaches a life-changing lesson on the choices we must make in order to have a wonderful evening dining with Him and enjoying the blessings of a meal with God.
