Lent Day 41...Day 210 (2 Kings 7,8; John 13 (again)..."A Different Kind of Kingdom"

As we begin Holy Week, the Gospel of John will help us understand the significant events of this week. The entry into Jerusalem on a donkey signaled this is a different kind of kingdom. Kings would ride in on a horse not a donkey. The greatest demonstration of Jesus' Kingdom is different comes in his washing of the disciples feet. Here is what happened...

"Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him."

Wow! What an awesome illustration of what following Jesus means!
