SAVED TO SERVE
John 13:1-17


I - Jesus is showing them that He was a SERVANT {vv 4-5} 
- We must be servants not seeking position or recognition
- The Lord saved us to serve


II - Jesus is showing them the need for CLEANSING {vv 6-10; Ex 29:4, 30:17-20} 
- It was required to be cleansed to enter the priesthood in the OT
- We as believers are kings and priests unto God and must be cleansed as well {Rev 1:6, 5:10}
- It is serious business to enter into the work of the Lord without being cleansed


III - We should be SERVANTS as the Lord served and we should FORGIVE others as He forgave {cleansed} us {vv 14-15; Eph 4:32; Matt 6:14; Heb 12:14-15}


IV - To serve God we must come to Him to allow Him to wash our feet {forgive us} {vs 17}
