Last Words for the Last Supper

How did Jesus spend his last hours on Earth? He spent time with his disciples, washed their feet, and ultimately gave them a profound example of sacrificial service. During The Last Supper, Jesus lowered himself to wash the dirt and grime off each of his disciples' feet. This showed us two important things: 1) we need to let Jesus wash us; and 2) we need to do the same for other people. This is an example of the way we are to serve and love one another.\r\n

On the last night Jesus spent with his disciples, he imparted the wisdom he felt was most important for the disciples to hear. Jesus explained what it looked like to bear fruit for God. He did this through the teaching of the vine and the branches. The first step in having a spiritually fruitful life is to "be in the vine" which means "have a personal relationship with God." Jesus talked about what it means to cooperate with the vine-dresser and how to abide in the vine. A testimony by Sue Olah is included.\r\n

The Upper Room Discourse contains Jesus' longest recorded prayer. Throughout this prayer, Jesus prays for himself, his disciples, and the world at large (including Christians and non-Christians). He frequently prays for unity among all these people. Unity is both spiritual and relational. There is a spiritual union between believers in Christ and also a relational unity that other people can see. It is important to cultivate this kind of unity. A testimony by Julia Choops is included.\r\n
