The Servant King The LORD'S SUPPER 1
It was Passover the time when God's people
remembered how God had rescued them from 
being slaves in Egypt. Every year they killed 
a lamb and ate it. The lamb died instead of 
us they would say. But this Passover God 
was getting ready for an even Greater Rescued.

Jesus and his friends were having the Passover
meal together in an upstairs room. But Jesus
were arguing What about. They were arguing
about stinky feet. Stinky feet Yes that's right Stinky feet. Now the thing about feet back then was that people didn't wear shoes they only wore 
sandals which might not sound unusual except that the streets in those days were dirty and I don't 
dusty dirty I mean really stinky dirty. With all those  cows and horses everywhere you can 
imagine the stuff on the street that ended up on their feet. So anyway someone had to wash away the dirt but it was a dreadful job. Who on earth would ever dream of volunteering to do it Only the lowliest servant?   I'm not the servant Peter said. Nor am I said, Matthew. The Servant King The LORD'S SUPPER 3
Quickly Jesus got up from the table took off his robe, picked up a basin of water knelt down and
started wash his friends feet. You can't Peter said He didn't understand about Jesus being the Servant king. If you don't let me wash away the dirt Peter. Jesus said you can't be close to me. Jesus knew that what people needed most  was to be
clean on the inside. All the dirt on their
feet was nothing compared to the sin inside their hearts. Then wash me Lord Peter said tears filling his eyes All of me. One by one Jesus washed everyone feet. I am doing this because I love you. Jesus explained Do this for each others.

Jesus picked up some bread and broke it. He gave it his friends He picked up a cup of wine and thanked God for it. He poured it out and shared it.
