"When Jesus had washed the disciples' feet, He said to them: "Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it." (John 13: 16 - 17).
No slave is greater than his master. Absolutely. We know this. No ambassador is greater than the king who sent him. Of course! But human nature being what it is, Ann Boleyn usurped the bed of mistress Queen Catherine of Aragon and became queen. You don't want to know what happened to Ann Boleyn.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He came to show us a simple and new way to the full life we hunger for. He is the truth who can never deceive.
Two deep truths marked His entire life:
#1 Necessity of Prayer. (Luke 18: 1).
#2 Necessity of suffering. (Cf Luke 24: 26).
"If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it." (John 13: 17).
