John 13:1 ~ Jesus loves us forever

 

John 13:1

Now before the festival of the Passover, 

Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. 

Having loved His own who were in the world, 

He loved them to the end.

Matthew 22:31-32

And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:

32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living."

Matthew 28:22b

Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

John 5:17

But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working until now, and 

I am working."

John 6:35

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

John 6:51

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 8:18

I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.

John 10:9

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.

John 10:11

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:14

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me.

John 10:38

but if I do them [works], even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

John 11:25

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."

John 12:32

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 15:1

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser."

John 17:9

I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

John 10:30

The Father and I are one.

John 4:26

Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he [Messiah, he who is called Christ].”

Mark 14:62

And Jesus said, "I am [the Christ, the Son of the Most Blessed] , and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 

We had a Sermon at Church, beginning of Lent, about the presence of Angels surrounding the ministry of Jesus. It's not something I've thought about often. Daniel records understanding the spiritual world presence on earth. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

When we read Scripture, the Power of God, touches one person with one verse and another with an entirely different verse. Nourishing the Body of Christ, individually and completely. Up building the Body of Christ in Love.

Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, is the birth of The New Covenant of the New Testament. 

Matthew 26:53 

Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, 

and He will 

at once send me 

more than twelve legions of angels?

This would be more than 10.5 more than the Roman Empire in Jerusalem.  Jesus wasn't counting souls, He was explaining all the Heavenly Host, as Daniel understood.

2 Corinthians 4:18 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, 

since what is seen is temporary, 

but what is unseen is eternal. 

1 Peter 1

—May be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. 

Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 

Obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 

12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you.

In the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit 

sent from heaven,

things into which angels long to look.

Luke 10

22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, 

and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, 

or who the Father is except the Son a

nd anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

23 Then turning to the disciples 

He said privately, 

“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

 The Holy Spirit sent from heaven,

things into which 

angels long to look.

2 Peter 3:13

But in keeping with God's promise, 

we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,

 where righteousness dwells.

No one will obtain His Salvation.

No one is worthy.

This is the free gift of Salvation 

in Jesus Christ.

The washing of sin

is paid for by the Sacrifice of Jesus

in His Blood

Romans 3:9

What then? Are we any better? Not at all. 

For we have already made the charge

 that Jews and Greeks alike 

are all under sin.

Why would the Angels long for Salvation? After the millenniums the angels have lived with Jesus, who knows Abraham and David, living in Heaven?

Again:

2 Peter 3:13

But in keeping with God's promise, 

we are looking forward to a new heaven 

and 

a new earth, 

where righteousness dwells.

Why would we hunger and thirst for righteousness to be filled?

Isaiah 51:11

So the redeemed of the LORD will return 

and 

enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. 

Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.

Isaiah 66:22

"For just as the new heavens and the new earth, 

which I will make, 

will endure before Me," declares the LORD, 

"so your descendants 

and your name will endure.

Romans 8:21

that the creation itself will be set free 

from its bondage to decay 

and 

brought into the glorious 

freedom 

of the children of God

Revelation 7:17

For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd.

 'He will lead them to springs of living water,' 

and 

'God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"

The Glory of His Glory. What Jesus Loves

He would have us do for one another.

His Living Example

of Spreading Loving Blessings.

Maundy Thursday,

Holy Thursday

Jesus washes Peter clean.

Jesus tells us what we do

for the least of one in His Kingdom

we do to Him.

Jesus lives the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Doing what we would have done to us

to one another.

Love one another.

When we love one another,

we are not far from Jesus Christ

and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Let us bless The Lord

Abba, Abba, Abba,
