THOUGHT OF THE DAY

John 13:3-17 AMP
[3] that Jesus, knowing that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was [now] returning to God, [4] got up from supper, took off His [outer] robe, and taking a [servant’s] towel, He tied it around His waist. [5] Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which was tied around His waist. [6] When He came to Simon Peter, he said to Him, “Lord, are You going to wash my feet?” [7] Jesus replied to him, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but you will [fully] understand it later.” [8] Peter said to Him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me [we can have nothing to do with each other].” [9] Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, [in that case, wash] not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!” [10] Jesus said to him, “Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, and is completely clean. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you.” [11] For He knew who was going to betray Him; for that reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.” [12] So when He had washed their feet and put on His [outer] robe and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? [13] You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is who I am. [14] So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet as well. [15] For I gave you [this as] an example, so that you should do [in turn] as I did to you. [16] I assure you and most solemnly say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. [17] If you know these things, you are blessed [happy and favored by God] if you put them into practice [and faithfully do them].

Philippians 2:4-11 AMP
[4] Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. [5] Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility], [6] who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes-the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; [7] but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. [8] After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. [9] For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, [10] so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

Hebrews 12:1-3 AMP
[1] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us, [2] [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work]. [3] Just consider and meditate on Him who endured from sinners such bitter hostility against Himself [consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
