"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." (John 13:3-4)
Is "so" the most important word in this passage? What Jesus was about to do - not just washing the disciples' feet, but going to the cross - was the hardest thing any human being has ever done voluntarily! Yet we see no hesitation; no procrastination; no looking for a way out. How could Jesus be so secure in the face of such a difficult calling? Answer: he knew where he had come from; where he was going; and what it was that God had given him.
I wonder; if we lived out of that "so", . . . . . . . . .
