John 13:12

When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them.

From Background Notes [BN] for August 3rd & 4th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The question alone is worth pondering in its own right, as we do this week! Might we not argue that the whole of one's life as a Christian is spent answering that question?


Did not someone as committed to Jesus as Paul once write: "That I might know him…" (Philippians 3:10), and then go on to say that he had not yet completed this task, but made it his life's work to do so? By posing the question, Jesus throws down the challenge of being a disciple, namely, discovering the truth contained in the cross of Jesus. What does Jesus have in mind for the disciples on this occasion?  [BN,8]
