The first- blind man feel ing the elephant's trunk de clared: "It is like a snake." The second feeling the mas sive leg said: "It is the same as a tree." The third hold- ing the tail said: "Ah. it is only as a rope." Each wrong-yet each correct. The two and three sides of arguments and dif ferences, each and all have their points-this we need to remember. Consider the other side, and there is always another side. When there is opposition to change, try to under stand just what the op position thinks. The fears and the anguish that they feel could result from change. This is really what people are fighting. , What appears as a simple rope to some, looms as big as a tree to others. . The greatest attainment of man is when he can say: "Friend, I want to understand your problem." Swindell Funeral Home HERTFORD, N. C. PHONE: 426-7311 OF ELIZABETH CITY J LOVE AMONG BELIEVERS I (JOHN 13:1-5. 12-14, 34-35) Grenfell of Labrador once came to John Hopkins . University looking for a , nurse to' come back to v Labrador to help with the - work there. " This is the way he made . his approach: "If you want to have the time of your life, come with me and run a - hospital next summer for the orphans of the North land. There will not be a cent of money in it for you, , and you will have to pay your own expenses. But I'll guarantee you will feel a love for life you have never before experienced. It's having the time of anyone's life to be in the service of Christ." It is not only the useful life but also the happy life that loves and serves. Jesus said and did many things to teach men how to live. Sometimes He acted out the lesson He sought to teach. Lessons of love and humble service can best be taught by example. EXAMPLE. JOHN 13:1-5 The time was just before the passover feast. This would be a time when the people of Israel would be charged with high feelings of emotion. Why? This passover festival turned their minds and hearts back to Egyptian bondage and deliverance. They remembered the story of the slain lamb and its blood on the posts of the door.

Jesus came to this hour in full consciousness that His death was near at hand. His death was no accident. He knew that His hour had arrived. Even in that hour the great heart of Jesus reached out to His disciples. How much He loved them! "He loved them unto the end" probably means that He loved them to the uttermost. The devil had found in Judas an instrument for his evil plan. It is difficult for us to understand the action of Judas. Here was the heighth of spiritual blindness. Let us beware that we yield not to Satan's suggestions. Jesus faced the hour of death in the confidence that all things had been given into His hands. Jesus knew what His hour of glory had arrived. He also knew that He had come from the Father and that He was returning to the Father. It is easier to face death when one knows that he is a product of God's grace and that heaven is his destiny. With this knowledge and confidence what will Jesus do? What will He preach to His disciples? He rises from the supper, lays aside His outer garments, takes a towel to wrap around Himself, pours water into a basin and begins to wash the feet of the disciples! Surely they were astonished and Jesus gave them an explanation. EXPLANATION, Rt 4 Hertford 264-2318 2861 SUPPLIERS OF OILFRODUCTS GOODYEAR TIRES PHONE 426-5544 JOHN 13:12-14 Many have understood this lesson to be taken literally and many dedicated- and sincere Christians practice washing one another's feet in connection with the Lord's Supper. One may do this and yet miss the true intent of the lesson. What did Jesus mean by this action? He asked them this question, "Do you know what I have done to you?" Surely they knew He had washed their feet. Was there more to be understood in what He did? Let us read on. "You call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am. If I then your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet," Jesus had given them, and us, a lesson in love and humble service. One could bend down and wash his brother's feet and yet be filled with pride, jealousy, or resentment. This could be obeyed apart from the literal act of washing feet. This could be obeyed apart from the literal act of washing feet. This commandment of Jesus is to be taken seriously. It is to be obeyed in all of our relations with one another. There is a further and deeper explanation by Jesus of His action in washing their feet. In verse 10 of the background scripture, Jesus said, "He that is washed (bathed) needethnot save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and you are clean, but not all."

Nevertheless, there will be the daily defilement of sin. In our final passage Jesus issues an exhortation. EXHORTATION. JOHN 13:34-35 Jesus gives them a new commandment. They are to love one another. Is this new? No, but the rest of the commandment is "as I have loved you." Jesus' love for them was not based on their goodness or abilities. He loved them with an unselfish, unmerited, unwanted, unending, undeserving love, When Christians start practicing His love for one another, the world will sit up an take notice. Then the world will know we're real. BIBLE QUESTION FOR THIS WEEK: What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life" John 14:6? ANSWER: Jesus claimed to be the way to God. Jesus is the truth of God. Jesus is the life of God. According to the Bible, there is no way to God apart from Jesus. Jesus is the personification of truth. One does not know ultimate truth until he knows Jesus. To know God through Jesus Christ is to have eternal life. See Acts 4:12; John 3:36. 426-5729 426-5728 Your Pa tronage ! ' ' - Hertford, N.C.
