    The Risen Savior

    Jesus placed a great amount of emphasis on the importance of love and humility. As it was getting close to His crucifixion, He left a tremendous example of love 

    despite the adversity He would face en route to the cross of Calvary.  In John chapter 13 vss. 1 thru 5 the bible says; “Now before the feast of the Passover 

    when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from the world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the 

    end.  *And supper being ended, the devil already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s 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 girded Himself, After 

    that, He poured water into a basin and begin to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with a towel with which He was girded.” One of the last acts of love 

    and humility Jesus bestowed upon mankind was to get down on His knees and wash the disciple’s feet. That’s the meaning of love and humility. There was no 

    self-glorying involved. There is good news everyday for those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior. No one else went to the cross on behalf of the sins of all 

    mankind, which is why to God be the “absolute glory,” for sending Jesus into the world. And Jesus made it crystal clear as to what His disciples needed to do. John 

    10 vss. 27 and 28 Jesus says; “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither 

    shall anyone snatch them out of My Hand.” So as we celebrate Easter today let’s remember Jesus after having died on the cross and placed in a tomb, Mary 

    Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome had spices in hopes of embalming Jesus. The angel of the Lord said to them in Matthew chapter 28 vss. 6 

    and 7; “He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead.” Vs. 9 

    says; And as they went to tell His disciples, behold Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.”
