In John 13, Jesus offers His disciples one of the most powerful examples of what it means to be a servant leader, by washing their feet after they eat their last meal together before He is arrested, tried, convicted, beaten and crucified. Jesus sets forth a new commandment that they must love one another as He has loved them. In John 14, Jesus tells of His impending return to heaven, but that ultimately that would mean His return to take them to be with Him. While the disciples weren’t sure where Jesus was going or how to get there, Jesus told them, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He also told the disciples they would do greater works than He, because He was going to the Father. In John 15, Jesus provides the amazing metaphor of Him being the “vine,” and we His followers, being the “branches.” So long as we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit. Jesus tells us again of the importance of His new command to love one another as He first loved us.
