"Let us come at once to the teaching of the Savior, and let it be surrounded with an unusual interest, because of the fact that it is his dying teaching. Let us see him as he wraps himself with the towel, remembering that he was soon to be wrapped with the straps of death: let us see him, I say, with a more profound interest, because he is just on the verge of these terrible depths where all the waves and thunderclouds of Jehovah's justice slam over him.

His sermon beginning, "Do not your hearts be troubled," is his farewell; these are the last drops of his life that he is now spending; at the supper-table you have the wine, which he keeps until now. As we see him washing his disciples' feet, we will discover choice love worthy of the last solemn hour of departure.

We will take the text in four ways.

First, there is the question "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Secondly, there is the admiration - "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Thirdly, there is the gratitude.
