The confusing actions of the divine and human.

John 13 God did what!? Ok, v3 = "Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God." And you would expect the next words to be something like, "So he flew up into the sky firing bolts of white hot light at all sinners and gave his followers special powers to rule the land and convert everyone with a mixture of love and holy wrath. Amen." NO! V4-5, it says "SO, he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waiste, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him." WHHHHAAAATT???!!! v12-17 "Do you understand what I was doing? You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and you are right, because it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things--no do them! That is the path of blessing." So, we can NEVER balk at any job, no matter how lowely or menial. Humility should be our middle name! Because GOD... did ya get that? GOD found it appropriate to do the most menial, lowly and disparaged job there was back then. And we sure as heck arn't better than our master, right? Disciples thought what?! If I were to say to you with tears in my eyes, "Someone is going to kick my teeth in. You'll know him by the big red hat he wares," you wouldn't upon seeing the guy in the big red hat say "Oh, hey, my buddy told me about you... your here to do charity work, right?" Not unless you have BRIAN DAMAGE. It appears that the disciples were given spiritual brain damage, perhaps so that God's will would not be interfeared with. In v21, Jesus, in "great anguish" tells the disciples one of them will betray him. He goes on to say, it's the guy I give a piece of bread to, then gives it to Judas and says "Hurry. Do it now." So, the disciples quickly navigate this tricky little sequince of events (whow, didn't just say "Judas will betray me" but put a bit of distance between the words and the man... tricky!), and gang tackle Judas, RIGHT!??! I mean the evidence is right there! Sure, a little tricky, BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF EM!!! Nope. They think "Gee... I guess good old Judas is going to give some money to the poor or pay for our food! What a swell guy... Wonder what that bread thing was all about..." Brain damage. This is acrually really encouraging to me, because it may signify that those times I'm a complete and total moron that there is some deeper spiritual reason for it. Ahhh... God is just making me brain damaged so that the greater good is done. That's all. I'm being stupid for God! (Like now perhaps?)
