Summary

When Jesus knew it was his last time to train his disciples, he started their training with foot washing. He gets up out of his place as the guest of honor, and he puts on a towel, picks up a basin, and begins to wash their feet. We’ve seen that this has symbolism that tells us who Jesus is. We look now at how it tells us what he came to give us: his salvation. We learn here that 1) we have a deep problem, 2) there’s a twofold cure, and 3) why and how we can get it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 16, 2016. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Purpose. Scripture: John 13:6-11. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel and Life.
0:05.0	What does it mean to represent Christ in the world?
0:08.0	Today on Gospel and Life, Tim Keller is teaching on how Jesus trained his disciples to go out into the world,
0:14.0	and what that means for Christian believers today.
0:18.0	The scripture reading is from the book of John, chapter 13, verses 6-11.
0:25.0	He came to Simon Peter who said to him, Lord, are you going to wash my feet?
0:32.0	Jesus replied, You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.
0:39.0	No, said Peter, You shall never wash my feet.
0:44.0	Jesus answered, Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
0:50.0	Then Lord, Simon Peter replied, Not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well.
0:57.0	Jesus answered, Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet.
1:02.0	Their whole body is clean, and you are clean, though not every one of you.
1:08.0	For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said, Not every one was clean, the word of the Lord.
1:21.0	Now, Jesus, the night before he was to die, put his disciples through a kind of intensive training course, and we have that in John chapter 13, 17.
1:33.0	He was about to send them out into the world. This was his last chance before he died to speak to them, and John chapter 13 to 17 is actually the longest single body of teaching we have in the New Testament from Jesus.
1:47.0	Now, the rise campaign, or what we are calling rise, is actually Redeemer's asking God to send us out into our city in a new and heightened way.
1:59.0	So what we are going to do is we are going to submit to the same training regimen as it were.
2:05.0	We are going to listen to the teaching and undergo the same intensive.
2:11.0	So we are going to march right through, John chapter 13 to 17, verse by verse, all during the year.
2:19.0	And it is striking, I think, that when Jesus knew this was his last time with his disciples to train them, he started the training with the footwashing.
2:29.0	We started looking at this last week. He gets up out of his place as the guest of honor, and he puts on a towel, picks up a basin, begins to wash their feet.
2:39.0	This has to be incredibly significant. Filled with meaning, or he wouldn't have started, is very last training session with it. And it's important for us, because he is training people to represent him in the world.
