In this Encounter(s) message from April 6, 2025, we explore one of the most powerful moments in the life of Jesus—when He knelt to wash His disciples' feet and shared a final meal before His betrayal. Through Zechariah 11:4-14, Luke 22:14-21, and John 13:1-17, we witness Jesus’ deep love and humility in the face of betrayal, and His call to us to follow His example of servant-hearted forgiveness. Key Themes: - Forgiveness isn't forgetting, excusing, or waiting for an apology. - True forgiveness is choosing to let go—*aphiēmi*—even when it costs us something. - Jesus knew betrayal was coming... and still chose to serve. - The broken bread and poured-out cup reveal the heart of a Savior willing to suffer so we could be whole. “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.” – Lewis B. Smedes “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” – Marianne Williamson Let Jesus’ example change how you see service, sacrifice, and forgiveness. 📖 Scriptures: Zechariah 11:4–14 Luke 22:14–21 John 13:1–17 #Forgiveness #JesusWashesFeet #Communion #Encounters #HolyWeek #LetGo #FreedomInChrist
