Welcome to today's Live to love scripture encouragement. I would like to revisit John 13:12 So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

Do you remember what Jesus knew before He washed their feet? He was conscious of His relationship with His Father. John 13:3 “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God.” What did Jesus do to them? He did what His Father was doing. In a most menial task He was conscious of His Father’s heart, love, and will. This is important! Because in only a few minutes He is going to tell them that He abides in the Father and the Father abides in Him. To see Him is to see the Father. When we live to love with Jesus, that is what we are doing to them. We are showing them the life and love of the resurrected Jesus Christ. How Christ-conscious are we as we serve in His name? I hope today, we will abide in Jesus in the same way Jesus abided in His Father, regardless of how significant or insignificant the tasks are that we have to do for His glory.
