I just love the questions that Christ asked, there is so much to learn from them. This week I've been thinking about John 13:12. After having washed the feet of the disciples, Jesus poses the question, "Know ye what I have done to you?" I imagine this question confused the disciples. Obviously he had just cleaned their feet, but they probably could not fathom as to why. Jesus went on to clarify exactly what he had done. He had given them a powerful example of the importance of serving others, especially those that might be considered lesser.
I wonder how we might respond if Jesus asked us, "Know ye what I have done to you?" Would we know? Would we simply respond with the superficial answers like, you died for me, you suffered for me? Or would we be able to really understand what it is that Christ has done to us and for us? It's important that we know what Christ has done for us personally, it is the only way to come to know him.
