During a meal with his disciples in John 13:1-17, Jesus did something that shattered social norms. He dressed like a slave and performed a task that was beneath most slaves by washing his disciples' feet. Although he didn't explain his actions completely, he gave us enough clues to find three important lessons. The first two lessons are about what he can do for us and the third about what we can do for each other. (sermon notes)
God used the sinful actions of humans to fulfill his will to provide the innocent one to take the place of the guilty.
Although the Kingdom of God started imperceptibly small, it will cover and fill the whole earth.
No matter how bad things get, God is still working out his own holy will through seen and unseen agents.
