  1. The Litmus Test JOHN 13:18-38

  2. Matthew 26:20-29 20When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.” 22They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely not I, Lord?” 23Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

  3. Matthew 26:20-29 24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” 25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “Yes, it is you.”

  4. Matthew 26:20-29 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

  5. Vs. 26-30 We may be able to fool men, but Jesus knows our true spiritual state!

  6. Vs. 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” • In the context of Jesus washing their feet • and explaining the symbolism of the elements of the supper

  7. John 15:13"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." 1 John 3:16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Ephesians 5:25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

  8. Vs. 35 “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” • This is the litmus test • a test in which a single factor (as an attitude, event, or fact) is decisive

  9. Are we prepared to love as Jesus loved? Can we pass the litmus test?

  10. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.
