DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joseph Parker preaches about the supreme consciousness of Jesus Christ,
highlighting His humility and servanthood as an example for us to
follow. He emphasizes the contrast between the desire for greatness in
human consciousness and the humility displayed by Jesus in washing His
disciples' feet, despite knowing His divine authority and power.

"For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to
you" (John 13:15).

What will he do in the moment of supreme consciousness? He will show his
diadem now; with his right hand he will take away the cloud which veiled
it, and the shining of that diadem shall put out the sun. What will he
do in this summer time?

We have analogous times in our own consciousness, when we feel what we
are, when the divinity stirs within us, when we feel the blood of a
hundred kings burning in our veins. What is our wish under the pressure
of such heroic and tempting consciousness? Surely to do some great
thing; surely to vindicate our right to be called by brilliant names.

What did Jesus Christ do? Mark the time: the whole pith of this part of
the discourse is in the point of time--"Jesus knowing"--in modern words,
the consciousness of Jesus urged to its highest point, realising its
utmost sensitiveness, receiving into itself the full revelation of the
divine meaning. "Jesus knowing"--that his right hand was full, and his
left hand--yea, "that the Father had given all things into his hands"--
what did he do? He arose from supper, he laid aside his garments, he
took a towel and girded himself, he poured water into a basin, "and
began to wash the disciples' feet."
