Jesus gets close

John ch13-17 has Jesus sharing a very intimate moment with his disciples. He speaks plainly and openly with them, equating them as friends. He washes their feet. He prays with and for them. He tells them of his leaving and why it is important. He goes to prepare a place for them. He comforts them with the knowledge that the Holy Spirit will come to guide them. He even prays for us today, who believe what the apostles taught and wrote. In john ch17v20 Jesus notes this because of the disciples' testimony. He chose even us. We need to keep the chain of testimony going...through our words, teachings and actions. We are to become one. We need to love one another. Thinking of others first, as Jesus did.
