Last week Pastor William spoke about the last supper and Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. This week we look at what happened afterwards as Jesus is arrested and he's questioned by the high priest. We're going to look at three figures involved in those events. John Mark, who was a follower of Jesus, Caiaphas, who was the Jewish high priest, and Jesus himself. We're going to focus on their clothing. We're going to look at clothing for those three people, each of them wore garments that carried great symbolic significance.

We're in our Easter preaching series and this week Pastor William felt very strongly from the Lord that I was meant to talk on the footwashing where Jesus washed his disciples feet. So we're diverting into the Gospel of John this morning which records that story. In first century Judea there were established customs when it came to hospitality. Host would normally provide uh three things: water for foot washing, a kiss, and oil to be to anoint the heads of your guests.

In this sermon Pastor William speaks on passing judgement on people. Do not judge or you too will be judged. At the time of Jesus, it was the Pharisees who were known as the masters of judging others. They had exalted themselves in the land as moral judges, condemning those who could not keep up with their standards and having very little mercy for those who fell short. And no doubt Jesus had them in mind when he gave this teaching to his disciples. Yet we all at times have made personal moral judgments against others. We all judge. We can have our own internal court system where we are the judge and the jury and the executioner. And we render our verdicts against others so often in seconds with little right of reply. And we tolerate our judgments against others rather than root them out through repentance. We judge often. In fact, it's very, very hard for us not to judge. It's almost like we are wired to judge. Why are we as humans so quick to morally condemn others despite being so flawed ourselves?
