Part 2: Sent Out With Grace
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
PART 2
John 13:6-11
1. WE ALL HAVE A DEEP PROBLEM WITH— SIN.
“‘No,’ said Peter, ‘You shall never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.’” John 13:8 (NIV)
“Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” Psalm 51:2 (NIV)
“And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on His name.” Acts 22:16 (NIV)
2. WHAT IS THE CURE FOR SIN?
“‘Then, Lord,’ Simon Peter replied, ‘not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!’ Jesus answered, ‘Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.’” John 13:9-10 (NIV)
“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.” Titus 3:5-6 (NIV)
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1 (NIV)
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9 (NIV)
3. HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY GET THIS SPIRITUAL CURE?
“Jesus replied, ‘You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.’” John 13:7 (NIV)
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
“Let all the world look to Me for salvation! For I am God; there is no other.” Isaiah 45:22 (NIV)
