Holy Thursday: Serve Like Jesus
By: Angela Lee Price
On Holy Thursday, the day before Jesus was crucified, Jesus washes his disciples’ feet (John 13). He does this just before the Passover Celebration. It was the very night that Jesus instituted the ordinance of the Lord's Supper at the Passover Meal. There, He gave an object-lesson on servant-leadership and humility. Scripture says he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and pour water in a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and wipe them with his towel (vs. 4-5). In verses 14-17 He says, “And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor or messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things-now do them! That is the path to blessing” (NLT).
If we are going to lead like Jesus, preach like Jesus, teach like Jesus, and love like Jesus, we must begin by serving like Jesus. Jesus was the perfect servant-leader. The Scriptures tell us that being a true servant-leader is how one receives the abundant blessing that so many people magically claim nowadays, only there is nothing magical about servant-leadership. It takes hard work, compassion, and commitment. Matthew 20:28 states, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many (NIV)."
Here is what God does for the humble servant-leader:
Here is a promise from God:
"Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Matthew 23:12
Here is what God does for the humble servant-leader:
- God gives joy to the humble servant. "The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God's help live in joy. Psalm 69:32.
- God rescues the humble servant. "You rescue those who are humble." Psalm 18:27
- God takes care of the humble servant. "Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud." Palm 138:6.
- God supports the humble servant. "The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust." Psalm 147:6.
- God fills the humble servant with fresh joy. "The humble will be filled wsith fresh joy from the Lord. Those who are poor will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 29:29.
Here is a promise from God:
"Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Matthew 23:12

Yes, Jesus Is The Way!
In my sanctified imagination, Thomas must have been overwhelmed and in a daze! Jesus had already shared so much, that Judas would betray him for 30 pieces of silver; that Peter would deny him three times. Then, Jesus declared He was going to heaven, and they were extremely concerned. Yet he tells them to not be troubled and gives three reasons to have peace in their hearts. First, We can take God at His Word. When Jesus said, "Trust in God, and trust also in me," he was reminding his disciples to trust in God's Word (v.1). Scripture had spoken of Jesus' impending crucifixion and his resurrection. Sometimes we miss important information when circumstances become overwhelming. We must remember that to trust God's word. You can trust God's Word because as Jesus stated to the disciples as he gave the object lesson about the fig three in Matthew 24:35 , "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away." Secondly, We are going to heaven. Heaven is a prepared place personally by Jesus who said, "I am going to prepare a place for you" (v2). Heaven is not a state of mind. Finally, Jesus is coming back for us. Notice, Jesus said, "I will come and get you". Jesus is not merely going to send for us. He is going to personally escort us to the Father's house! Isn't that good news?! The Bible tells us to "encourage each other with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:18). In heaven, there will be no more fear, death, pain, or sorrow.
Thomas caught the tail end of his statement. Jesus said, You know the way to the place where I am going" (v4). Thomas must have woke up. "We don't know where you are going," he blurted out, "How can we know the way? (v5)
Jesus provided answers to three pertinent questions that have continued to be sought out by the lost, the learned, and the longing down through the ages. Those questions are "How can I be saved?", "How can I be sure?", and "How can I be satisfied?"
For lost people, Jesus answers the question, "How can I be saved? He says, "I am the way, "No one comes to the Father except through me" (v6). Jesus clearly explains that the only people who will enter heaven will be those who have accepted him as the way - not those who have performed the greatest number of deeds. There are no attributes of deity that the Jesus does not possess. Jesus is the only way to have a relationship with God (Romans 10:9; Acts 12:4; John 3:16). The reason we can have relationship with God is Jesus paid the penalty for our sins on the Cross. Jesus died, and rose again which is what Easter is all about.
For the learned, Jesus answers the question, "How can I be sure?" He says, I am the truth. Everything that is true of God the Father is true of me. Jesus replied to Thomas, "he who has seen me, has seen the Father" (v9). You can be sure when you put faith in Jesus Christ. The word "truth" is used in Scripture in two ways: true as contrasted with false; and genuine as contrasted with unreal. Although both apply to God, when we speak of the truth of God, normally His genuineness is contrasted with false gods of other religions. The Scriptures declare Jesus as the one true God (John 1:1-2; John 17:3).
For the longing who ask, "How can I be satisfied?, Jesus said, I am the life, that is, life in eternity and life on earth. I am water when you are thirsty, and bread when you are hungry. In John 10:10, he stated, "I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly", in other words, until you are satisfied.

Not only is Jesus Christ the only way to eternal life, He is the only way to abundant life. Salvation, deliverance, healing, and spiritual growth cannot come any other way except, through Jesus Christ. He is the way!

Jesus Cleanses The Temple
JESUS CLEANSES THE TEMPLE
By: Angela Lee Price
Several key events happened during Jesus' final week. The cursing of the fig tree and cleansing of the Temple are two that occurred on Monday. On Monday Jesus continued to fulfill prophecy. In Matthew 21, Jesus upholds God's justice in the Temple, fulfilling Isaiah 42's vision of the Messiah as a Just Servant.
The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of God's Just Servant declaring, "Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations" (Isaiah 42:1).
In Matthew 21:12-14 we read, "Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. He said to them, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves!"
The prophet Isaiah prophesied that the Lord's Servant would not only bring justice and equality for all, but also healing and support to the poor, marginalized, and crushed in spirit. While the temple merchants regularly carried out their business at exorbitant, unfair prices, the poor and sick begged at the Temple for help. Jesus attended to their needs that Holy Monday, but the leaders were outdone,. The Bible states, "The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. The leading priests and teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting, 'Praise God for the Son of David.' But the leaders were indignant (Matt. 21:14-15).
With all that is happening in our world today, aren't you glad that our Savior, Master, Redeemer, King of kings is a Just God?
In what ways are you following Jesus' example humbly serving the noble cause of justice? Jesus saves! #holyweek #Godsjustservant
