Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

Today's reading is really similar to yesterday's reading.

We covered the first half yesterday, so today we'll recap the last half.

John's account of the last supper includes a detail no other gospels talk about, where

Jesus washes the disciples' feet.

This is the job of a servant or a slave to wash the filthy, first century sand-awareing

feet.

Peter knows how humbling this is, so he tries to refuse it.

But Jesus is using this as an object lesson, and humility is one of the primary points,

so Jesus does it anyway.

The other main point of the footwashing is to symbolize the way he washes away our sins,

which makes it so ironic that he does it even for Judas.

But he clarifies this point for us by telling us in verse 10 that Judas is not clean.

John tells us that Satan has already put it into Judas heart to betray Jesus.

This idea of Satan putting something into someone's heart is terrifying, right?

I've heard Tim Keller compare this to the strings of a grand piano.

If you open the back and sing a note, the string of that note will vibrate.

You can play the piano without even touching it just by communicating with it in the way

that resonates.

He says, that's what Satan does to our flesh.

He sings to our strings in a way that engages our sin nature.

If we know our weak spots, we can be on guard against this.
