Yes, Jesus knew that there was one among the chosen twelve that would betray Him andHeallowedthatonetoplayout his role and collect his reward. The church, I believe, has always some Judases in it.

TRUE GREATNESS DESCRIBED (Verses 24-27) "For whither is greater, he that sit-teth at meat, or he that He that sitteth at meat 'was the master of the house. He that serveth was an employee, orslave, whosejob it was to cater to the master. Society's attitude concerning personal relationships and heavenly, or spiritual, attitudes are opposites. Jesus chose the last supper with His apostles to make a strong point of this teaching. In ancient Palestine it was a servant's job to wash the feet of visitors entering a home.

In fact, it was considered the lowest job in servitude. Jesus not only spoke the words setting forth this spiritual truth He did so by example. You recall, He took a bowl of water and a towel and washed His disciples' feet. Peter objected strongly. A REWARD PROMISED (Verses 28 30) "Ye are they which have continued with Me in My temptations (trials)" (vs.

28). Jesus was not speaking only of His wilderness temptation, but was speaking more generally of all His troubles during His earthly ministry. In these verses Jesus foretells the time when His faithful followers would be present with Him at a heavenly banquet. Revelation points to that day in time and it is called the "Marriage Supper of is the promised reward of the faithful: Subscribe to 1HE Interior Journal Only $12.75 a year for home delivery. 00 ONE WHO SERVES "He that is the greatest among you, let him be the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve." (Luke Our lessons currently are in the winter quarter of studies and given under the theme: "The Story of Jesus." (Luke) Today our study concerns Christian service.

The biblical event for our study today is the last supper which Jesus shared with His chosen twelve on the night before His crucifixion. It was just hours before Jesus' arrest and trial, and, subsequently, His crucifixion. There was so much yet that Jesus wanted to say, and to teach His apostles; however, the lesson on Christian servitude which He taught them at the last supper must stand as a great spiritual truth. It is so easy for one to confuse Christian service in comparison to service in society. There is a great difference! When I was a young family man, just beginning Christian service work, an older man made a statement to me that I have never forgotten.

The church had just ordained him as a deacon. Shortly thereafter, during a conversation we were having, he said to me, "You know, I haven't been a Christian and church member very long. I've moved up real fast." I didn't respond to him; however, I knew he misunderstood the role'of a deacon. He had not been elevated, he had been set aside for a particular Christian service. THE PASSOVER TRANSFORMED "And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, take this, and divide it among yourselves." (Verse 17).

The verses just before our printed text describe how Peter and John made arrangements for the Passover meal in the upper room. For close to three years Jesus and His apostles had traveled many miles together over the Palestine countryside and had eaten many meals together. This TiieaFtriarThey wereabout to eaT would be their last; and their most important one. In this last supper with His apostles, Jesus was establishing a church ordinance that New Testament churches throughout the centuries to come were to observe. The fruit of the vine was to represent His blood.
