The Bible says now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come, that He should depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. Asapa being ended, the devil having already put in into the heart of Judas Carriot, Simon son to betray Him. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and guarded Himself. After that He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was guarded. Verse number six, then He came to Simon Peter and Peter said to him, Lord, are you washing my feet? Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will know after this, was a Peter sent to him, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, if I do not wash your feet, you have no part with me. Simon Peter sent to him verse number nine, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus sent to him, he who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you. For he knew who would betray him. Therefore he said, you are not all clean. So when he had washed their feet, taken his garments and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord. And you say well for so I am. If I then you Lord and teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you. The subject for this message is worst, but unclean. Worst, but unclean. Let's pray. Gracious Father in heaven, Allah be the name thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in this place and for this message as it is in heaven. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. You declare to be lifted up, you shall draw all people unto yourself. Lord I pray that this morning may I not be seen, may I not be heard. But may you be seen and heard to speak to us all. My humble request Father is that you may put your words into my mouth and order my leaves and my thoughts to your will. I pray in Jesus name. Worst, but unclean. Now by this time you will appreciate that Jesus had had a very busy, very engaging, very challenging three years experience in his ministry. And just a day away Jesus will be on the cross. The Bible indicates that it was a time for Passover and of course now we can all connect and know this would be the last Passover that Jesus would share on earth. Now the Bible says Jesus then called his disciples the upper room and when he gathered them there the Bible says after they had eaten the supper Jesus rose from the supper. He lay aside his gamit. You see in the days of Jesus and in the tradition and custom of Jesus whenever they had such kind of high meetings it was the servant to attend to the master. So Jesus is sitting as inviting his disciples for a special Passover and I call it a special Passover because this was only with disciples. We are appreciate later that Jesus has hand not only this Passover in his lifetime but we all know that every year there was Passover. So even just looking at the Passover within the three and half years of Jesus we can conclude Jesus at least and other two Persevers he had participated before this. But of course having in mind that he is brought up in a Jews family especially in the family of Joseph and Mary there is no way Jesus who not have participated in all the Persevers in his lifetime. Now all this particular time Jesus chose to do it differently. He decided to do it only for his disciples. The Bible says he was with them in the upper room. And the Bible says when Jesus knew that his herwa had come he rose up, lay aside his gamit and he began the job of washing his disciples feet. Well you would want to have that picture in your mind even as I speak of this and see them sitting perhaps around the table. They are not so many because there is that teeny number. Not very sure of all the sitting arrangement looks like but the Bible seems to suggest kinda that Peter was on the other extreme end where Jesus was because he seemed to be the last one to be washed his feet. I was asking in my mind where was Judas seated and as I was checking through commentaries I discovered LNG where it actually says Judas sat next to Jesus on the right side and John the beloved disciple of Jesus was on the left side immediately after Jesus. Well I didn't say any other commentaries suggesting where others in the market were placed but I presume that now then Peter was on the rare end of the sitting arrangement. And so I wanted to see Jesus as beginning to wash his disciples feet and in the manner that Judas has positioned himself Jesus has to wash Judas the fast guy. I was wondering why did this happen so? Well John does not capture any other details of what happened I wish I was John I would have focused more on Judas but for some reason John chose not to mind about Judas he chose to mind about Peter somebody with me Peter when Jesus washes disciples feet and he comes to Peter Peter says Jesus thank you sir you can't do this to me I have been seated wondering what is happening with Judas what is happening with John what is happening with Matthew how can they allow themselves to be washed their feet by you? Jesus I know for sure I am your servant I am not supposed to wait that you may wash my feet but I want to know you need to sit that I may do the job of a servant can somebody say a man Jesus looked at Peter I write it on Peter Peter I understand what you are talking about I know through customary rights you are right Peter I know that by every measure and standard of traditions or this land you are within the doctrine yet Peter there is one thing I need you to know today I am not out of my mind to do the thing to see me doing today you need to understand and ask me Lord why have you chosen today to do things in this manner as you not afraid to turn against you for violating and breaking traditions breaking the policies you know many times as we relate with Jesus we have gathered as a people most of times we are carried away by policies and procedures and structures and we miss on the real issues of eternity Peter was a good guy who did not want to offend him the policy of the church Jesus is not with me but Jesus tells him listen to me Peter how I pray that you will wait on me because what I am doing you do not understand but I can assure you Peter before the end of this service you will understand can somebody say a man Jesus told him if you do not allow me to do this today then you have no part with me you do not share any part with me when Peter hand face Peter knew something is wrong and he said Jesus I didn't see it that way then Jesus here I am now not only my feet but also my hands and my head Peter is always a very smart guy you see when Peter hand Jesus saying you will love to allow me to do this so that you can understand what I am doing and when Jesus mentioned if I don't do this to you you have no fellowship or part with me Peter knew he stood on the way of his salvation Peter knew he was risking to miss out in eternal life and he told him now I remember something my monster now you see when priests were being inaugurated to begin the ministry to enter into the sanctuary and begin the ministry they were washed are you with me and the priests were washed they were brought to the sanctuary and the priests any new appointment and the priests to begin his ministry he was washed in the sanctuary and he was washed on his feet his hands and on his head can you say man Peter says no Jesus I remembered you value me so much you want to make me a priest then Jesus no just fit like Matthew no just fit like John or like Judas now for me mind is that for the priests do it on my head on my hands and on my feet Jesus looks at him and tells him you have gone overboard you are still missing the point it has nothing to do with your ministry it has nothing Peter I am not choosing you to be the priest of your other disciples that is not the point you see Ellen G. White says as they were walking into the upper room the disciples were engrossed in controversies of who is the greatest among us who should sit where in this table we have hand Jesus saying that he is in his bed last days then who shall he live in charge of the flock now this is going on in the minds of disciples Jesus is silent but because Jesus was also God he had the power to read their minds now Peter and no wonder by the way I agree with Ellen G. White why Judas because it was a controversy of who is important in the kingdom of Jesus no wonder Judas chose to position himself right at the right side of Jesus the controversy of supremacy the controversy of who gets what the controversy of who is superior and who is least was in the minds now maybe also as Jesus invited them for Passover they knew but you know every time when there were Passover's you know like today we are having here you have all come but I can tell you here we have hand a team of deacons when you were busy at your workplace and your homes they came here to prepare for you are you with me they came and made the hand blames they spend their time here so even in those days where the Passover was being made there were people who were chosen to serve and part of the people were chosen to serve were the lowest people the least people in the society they were picked that they may be servants and wash every other people's feet so in every Passover there were people assigned you know who you are in the society so there is a job so in all the Passover's the disciples have celebrated with Jesus I want to imagine that they had never seen in a Passover where there were no prior arrangement of who is going to wash their feet how comes that today Peter is resisting as complaining yet he had been with Jesus in all those other Passover's and simply means there were prior arrangement on to who is going to be the servant for the occasion are you with me but on this one they are alone in the room and as they walked in they looked from this side and from that side there was no servant there was no one who would be lower than each other they were just there and they sat and the controversy was becoming more and more so what is going to happen who has been to wash our feet today and I can imagine Peter thinking through am I going to wash the feet of Judas I want to imagine Matthew asking am I going to wash the feet of Mark this fearful fellow how can I do that rest I become lower than Mark the controversy is real Jesus is looking at them and the Bible says Jesus knowing the hour can somebody say amen Jesus knowing the hour he rose from the supper he lay aside his garment he walked where the basin was he poured the water into the basin and he guarded his waist with a towel their disciples are watching and they start washing their feet they are silent when it comes to Peter then Peter says this is not our tradition let me speak to somebody here this morning and I say there are times that you have to break your traditions can somebody say amen there are times in your Christian life you must allow yourself for the sake of eternity to break away from your culture from your traditions from your customs because some of the traditions are contrary to the spirit of eternity there are times when you need to lay aside those things that beset you and that stops you on your way and you must be willing to pay the penalty you see Simon Peter says you know Jesus for us to fit in the society we must observe the ritual in dictates but I hear Jesus saying Peter this is not a ritual this is not a ritual for a mayor service this is a ritual that cleanses the soul you see Peter this one is not that one for the law this one is for the upon this one is not the one that is reaching to the outer part of you but this what I'm doing today is the one that reaches to the inn most of you all these the Passover's should have been having it has been addressing the outer of you but Peter today this one is or targeted to minister to the inner being of you and for this reason the inn is important than outside if the inner cause for breaking tradition may be so I remember Jesus teaching somewhere and saying it is good for you then even though it will mean for you to go to heaven without some part of your body fine Jesus is not only today teaching again as the things that are a stumbling block in our journey with him but he is demonstrating as it is possible when you have come to me and so Jesus tells him you see those who are bathed in the morning they are clean so Peter there is no need for me to wash you the hands but let me just do this because today this is a special one and you've got to get the significance of it you see Peter you are asking me to wash your hands and your feet and washed in the morning have you not come here when you are clean I am here this morning or rather this evening to remove the dust that may have settled on your feet while you are on your way coming here can somebody say man I called you Peter I removed you from the world you left everything for me I remember one day you challenged me Jesus for us who have left everything our wives, our children, our business came to you what shall we get Peter I am doing this today because it has nothing to do with the outside it has nothing to do with physical it has nothing to do with afri ritual this is an heavenly ritual you see people and their lives can look really very good on the outside but they are well can be very well mannered they can go to church they can give generous offering they can sing and go out for missions they appear to be very clean and good yet on the inside they are filled some of those who are filled with extreme pride in how they appear some may hope our hateful thoughts about others some be holding on a grudge against someone else refusing to forgive yet they are on a daily basis on a weekly basis coming before the Lord and fellowshiping with the Lord they pray and God answers their prayer but from inside they are not clean and so like most of us today who are going to participate in the whole communion we have all been worst that the brother of Jesus can say man we accept him we were wet taken to the waters of baptism we were clenched we came on new beings but I won't let you know today even though that happened we are not clean Jesus says I know the day you were baptized you began your life with me you were never isolated from the chaos of this life you never went to live in heaven you are living in a sinful world and many things have come your way they are choking you you are contaminated as you come to me on their special ordinance I want to know I know inside of you you are not clean but I am here to clean you I am here to give you the touch that you desire that your heart and my heart can be in harmony I am here today recognizing that you bath in the morning that I may give you a bathing of the soul all Peter says Jesus tells Peter Peter look at this so Jesus has finished washing the disciples seat and I want you to behold here and see imagine how I wish I was there if Jesus washes your feet if Jesus washes just touching your feet Jesus the hands of God himself touching your feet and taking water and cleaning you and cleaning you and cleaning you with the creator's eye cleaning you who do you go out of that place with any trait of that I want to see the feet of the disciples Jesus has complete and washing their feet and I believe they were looking at each other and saying oh this was a good deal today we have never been clean like this before there is a special cleaning of the hands of the master today we look more handsome we look more beautiful we feel more fulfilled and Jesus could see their heart and the emotion and their feeling and you know he never reprimanded Judas for sitting next to him he was never bothered who sits where now Judas is spreading his legs there together with Matthew and John and Mark his feet has been washed but the Bible says before Jesus began to do self and job of washing their feet already satan and entered into Judas heart are you with me as Jesus is stooping down to start washing Judas feet Jesus is very clear I am not washing my friend I am washing my end Jesus he is very clear I am not washing a companion I am washing a traitor Jesus knew few minutes after these Judas will leave their company and go to look for the 10th man Jesus knew in the next few minutes coming Judas would come and kiss him and hand him over to his kid Jesus knew few hours after that the act of Judas will take him through the act throughout the night he would be persecuting Jesus knew after this act of Judas he would be put on the cross Jesus who you perceive what today in this church in deep of your heart you say this one even though we come to this church together I know this one is not my friend this one stops me on the back this one is my enemy over my dead body pastor I can't wash their feet Jesus says that's why I did not organize for the washers you see friends the reason why Jesus has behaved this way is very surprising to me and I am asking how can this be possible how could Jesus do such kind of a thing so I saw vast number one vast number one Bible says read with me how could Jesus and do a washing his enemy's feet the Bible says not before the peace of the Passover when Jesus knew that his horror and calm that he should depart when Jesus knew that his horror had come for him to depart when Jesus knew his horror and calm he had to do things differently when Jesus knew the horror is here when I am leaving the earth and go back to my father when Jesus knew that this is the time how people looked at life can somebody say man this morning do you know what horror is in your life as we came here today do you know what time we are living in today you see what makes Jesus today behave in this Passover the reason why Jesus in the first Passover when he is taken by his mother he did not behave this way the reason why when Jesus was chasing people is because he knew is how has not come but now he says having known that his horror has come how does the knowledge of what time is you living in today change you approach the things of eternity when he knew the Bible says he rose from the supper he rose from the feast he rose from the supper and laid a sign as garment when Jesus knew the time he rose from the feast and I am suggesting to somebody this morning it is time for you because I am very certain that we are living on the edge of eternity this is the time for you to rise from your supper rise from the feast rise from the comfort zone rise from the place where you are steamed rise from the place where you feel powerful rise from the place where you feel it is easy for you rise from the place where everyone is applauding you rise from the supper for this is not time for supper it is time to fix issues eternity there is no time to set a bread live and enjoy life there is a time to walk out to a salvation in fear and in trembling there is no time to lean the animal in the trivia of beings of this world talking about that and this and this we are wasting time for very precious time Jesus is teaching me this morning in such and however like this I should rise from a comfort zone I don't know what is a comfort zone but supper that dinner was indeed a comfort zone something to set a bread but Jesus said we are all disciples we are enjoying that moment eating and enjoying and eating Jesus rose from that seat let me speak to somebody this morning first I say it is time for you and me to rise from the status quo it is time for us today to rise from traditions and practices that have always drilled the mission of Jesus for he says stand at the door I am coming quickly it is time for us to lean the on earth ravings it is time that Paul speak in collision chapter 3 verse 1 and 4 set your heart on the things above we are crisis sitting on the right hand of God set your mind on the things above not on earth and however we are living in today you will have no time for the earth ravings although somebody would say man days is the time to ask Jesus how do I fix the issue of a maternity you see when we know that the hour that we have is the last hour to determine our destiny in the Lord then we will be more cabinet minded I will speak from Ellen she says the team was lost in the passage for the other game Jesus I thank God that all of the 12 they live and got it can somebody say man I think this is one of the most successful stories of the ministry of Jesus when out of 12 you only lost one so if out of ministry I lose 10 somebody with me I mean Jesus to me this was very successful ministry but you see what of the one who is Jesus you are clean but not oh and then ask myself how could be somebody who has been clean by Jesus still remain then I discovered that even as much as Jesus is working day and night to give us eternity Jesus died on the cross for our sin Jesus will never and never robbed your heart Jesus is always waiting for you to volunteer your heart to him the difference between Peter and Judas is that when Peter discovered what Jesus was doing he volunteered his heart to Jesus because he volunteered his heart to Jesus even when Peter behaved in all the ugly money behaved Peter remained a friend of Jesus because Judas never surrendered his heart to Jesus today Judas is still and clean even though Judas received the same service like Mark and John and Matthew even though all the disciples were clean by Jesus and they were left clean Judas was left unclean let me end this message by saying something here my friend you see the bible says Jesus he removed he rose and removed his garment hmm you see Judas always wore the garment of a thief Judas every time I was walking Jesus was struggling with and Judas said how can I do I already have a deal after this I'm going to receive I meant some connections I meant some phone because I know there's a deal in Naiva there's something quickly coming through how can I lose it for there's mayor washing off the feet just wash them I know where I'm going Judas for the interest of few coins he missed eternity is going to make you miss eternity I figured out today that it was not something so big that that is that Judas was giving honestly it was not too big for him I figured out that most people are going to perish and to miss out the kingdom of God no because of many great things they are permitted but because of small petty things they are living in and I'm speaking to somebody today I don't know who that person is you know that pettyness of your Christian journey you know those things that you trivialize every time you know that thing that you think is not a big thing I know a sister here who is messed up I am better than that sister I am better than that brother I am not as wicked as that have you ever heard of any story of me breaking somebody's home I am just doing some little things because I am a human that is where Judas was because of just little things of that coins of silver he missed eternity could you be washed but still and what do you want Jesus to do they are here today somebody saying like Peter Jesus not just the feet but also the hands somebody say Jesus not just the feet but also the hands in other ones Peter saying Jesus take my life and let it be somebody say take my life Jesus and let it be consecrated to the Jesus take my head take my hands, take my legs take my mouth, take my head it is thine oh Lord consecrated clean it for what is the word of me sharing with you their special oneness yet you know I am not unclean cleanse me oh father David says creating me a new heart David never meant remove this heart take me to hospital and do a heart transplant no David is saying Jesus I have surrendered to you can somebody say man I have subjected myself to your well let your well be done in my life and this morning this morning I want to pray would somebody who says I need to be washed and I am inventing choristers here because I want us to sing the song have you been to Jesus for the cleansing been washed in the blood of the Lord have you been washed have you experienced the washing that comes from the blood of Jesus I am informed very well that the blood of Jesus is able and powerful to remove every stain of sin can somebody say man this morning you may have walked out throughout the week into dirty corners of life you may have indulged yourself this morning my question is have you tried the washing of the blood of Jesus have you been washed in his blood he is right here with us and he want to wash you please do not resist him do not be a Judas be a Peter and say I have come to receive the washing of the blood choristers give us that song have you been washed in his blood
