"that you may all be one"

Heather and I are leading worship tonight, remembering Jesus' last supper with his disciples. We wanted to focus on Jesus' example of humility and lowly serving of each other, and how that is related to our unity with one another.

After the foot washing, different people will read John 13.12-17, John 12.24-26, John 17.20-22, and then Luke 22.19-27 before communion. And at the end, each of those readers will say lines from their readings like this:

Unless a grain of wheat falls and dies, it remains alone

Do you know what I have done for you?

This is my body, which is given for you

That you may all be one

Let the greatest among you become as the youngest

That you may all be one

And the leader as one who serves

For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you

I. your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet

I am among you as one who serves

And where I am, there my servant will be also

That you may all be one

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them
