John 13:15-17

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

From Background Notes [BN] for March 24^th/25^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

He has given (dedoka, perfect tense, again, showing the completion of the action) them an example (Greek: hupodeigma)…

The Greek word is actually a bit stronger and has the force of "token" or "pattern". It comes from the verb form hupodeiknumi which means "to show by placing under or before the eyes; to show by words and arguments; to teach; to show by make known future things." Could these disciples soon forget the images, burned into their eyes, by Jesus' symbolic actions that night? Indeed, Jesus is telling them, let these actions become for you deeply etched patterns of conduct, shaping how you live, and how you serve.   [BN,8]
