As we have seen in the first seven blogposts, not only does Jesus claim to be God several times, but he confirms those claims with amazing miracles.
The next big event for Jesus is his entrance into Jerusalem with the crowd cheering him on Palm Sunday. Then, the scene shifts to the Upper Room, where Jesus washes his closest followers’ feet before the Passover meal and celebration. He washes their feet (John 13) by acting the way a servant would, thus showing them the need to serve one another humbly.
The ultimate way Jesus serves them and us is by suffering and dying to pay our great debt to God.
