## Snapshot

The Lord who takes a basin and towel on the night of his betrayal, proving his love by serving those who would soon flee.

## Who they are

Under this title, Jesus is teacher and Lord, the one whose words in John 14 and 17 anchor Moody's most tender passages about the Father and Son coming to abide in the believer. The tension he embodies is the staggering claim that God loves sinners as he loves his own Son, a truth hard for a wandering man to believe. His washing of the disciples' feet becomes the book's picture of unchanging love, the model for how the way to God is walked.
