Jesus, the Sovereign Servant (45 of 75)
Series: The Gospel of John

John 13:1-17
Our study in John brings us to a major shift in the book. We enter the 2nd of 3 major divisions in this gospel and we transition from the public eye to a private encounter...from the bustling streets around the busy temple to the quiet chambers of the Upper Room.

For in our theme verse of John 20:31, the apostle declared, ''But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing, you may have life in His name.''
It's literally that last night of the Savior's life. Although the events of this night occupy the next 6 chapters, with ...
