The Story of God预览

Isn't Jesus' love and humility incredible? Look at how he washes his disciples' feet, gives up his life, and pours out his blood. No greater love has ever been displayed. Because of his love for us, Jesus made an end to our sin.

The love that motivated the death on a cross also motivated the humble foot-washing. The power that broke the curse of sin and death can make us clean and innocent in God's sight. The hands that were nailed to a cross, once for all to make us blameless, also offer us cleansing every day. The Bread of Heaven that came down to be broken for us also offers us nourishment for each day. The one who poured out his blood to provide forgiveness for sins also pours out his Spirit to fill us and immerse us in his presence and make us holy.

This is how Jesus has loved us, and how he calls us to love one another. This will only be possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.
