Today we begin to look into Paul’s teaching in Colossians 3. Because we have such a powerful identity in Christ, we are commanded to put to death what is earthly in us so that we can have access to the new life God has given us.

Follow My Example
Jesus who is Lord and Teacher shows his meekness and humility through washing the disciples’ feet. He invites his disciples to do the same, to take the lowest place and to serve one another with all meekness and humility as well.

No Part in Me
The washing of the feet prefigures Baptism. Jesus tells Peter that unless he washes his feet, he has no part in Him. Jesus washes us clean so that we can be incorporated into His body and a part of God’s family.

The Lowest Place
Jesus serves His disciples and takes the form of a slave as the one who washes people’s feet. This is an image of what He does when he leaves his heavenly throne, taking the form of a slave and ultimately cleansing our sins through his blood.

Secure in Our Identity
Jesus was secure in his identity as the beloved son of the Father. From this place he served and fulfilled his mission – this place of being loved by the Father. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us walk and live secure in our identities.
