BROTHERLY LOVE
Rev.1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
One of the most important statements in Johns writing is found in John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another
The apostle John said i am your brother.
(1) In labor
John 13:1 Now before the feast of the 1. passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Saved by Grace
Sent to preach
Serving for the glory of God
(2) In loyalty
John13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
The record of the word
The reason of witness
The revelation of Christ was wonderful
(3) In listening
John 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
1. 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
The one and only voice we need to hear
Need to understand it clearly
Obey it immediately

Divine pardon gives joy unspeakable
Delivered by saving Grace
Devils power can be broken.
