Scriptures:
John 13:1–35, Psalm 116:1–19, Exodus 12:1–14
John 13:1–35
Three times in this passage Jesus said, “I knew”. In verse one, three and 11, He spoke these words.
This tells me this week in history — Passion Week — was planned by God.
Jesus tells us time and again to:
Love God
Love others

Psalm 116:1–19

God listens to us
I love God because he listened to me,
listened as I begged for mercy. (Psalm 116:1, MSG)
Walking with God is being alive
I’m striding in the presence of God…
