It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.

Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him.

Quotes

Blaise Pascal : There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus. (); C. S. Lewis : But these are all inadequate, because the infinite abyss can only be filled by an infinite and immutable object, that is to say, only by God Himself. (Mere Christianity); Tullian Tchividjian : Only when we come to a better understanding of what we already possess in Jesus will we be able to identify and then resist the counterfeit offerings of this world. When I examine my heart honestly, I find many other things smaller than Jesus that I depend on, on a daily basis, to make life go. (Jesus + Nothing = Everything); Ignatius of Antioch : My dear Jesus, my Savior, is so deeply written in my heart, that I feel confident, that if my heart were to be cut open and chopped to pieces, the name of Jesus would be found written on every piece. (); Bob Goff : Love is never stationary. In the end, love doesn't just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it. Simply put: love does. (Love Does); Philip Yancey : The worse a person felt about themselves, the more likely they saw Jesus as a refuge. Has the church lost this gift? Evidently the down-and-out, who flocked to Jesus when He lived on earth, no longer feel welcome among His followers. What has happened? (What’s So Amazing About Grace); Charles Spurgeon : To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world. And with every soul you bring to Jesus Christ, you seem to get a new heaven here upon earth.
