Jean 13.1

C’était la veille de la fête de la Pâque. Jésus savait que l’heure était venue pour lui de quitter ce monde pour aller auprès du Père. Il avait toujours aimé les siens qui étaient dans le monde et il les aima jusqu’à la fin.

Christ lave les pieds des disciples. (Jean 13:1-17)
La trahison de Judas est prédite. (Jean 13:18-30)
Christ commande à Ses disciples de « s'aimer les uns les autres ». (Jean 13:31-38)

Notre Seigneur Jésus « possède » Son peuple ici-bas ; Il a racheté les Siens, Il a payé cher et Il les a mis à part, pour Lui-même ; Ses enfants se consacrent à Lui, constituant ainsi un peuple à part.

Ceux que Christ a choisi, Il les aime « jusqu'à la fin », jusqu’au bout, (verset Jean 13:1*). Rien ne peut séparer un véritable croyant de l'amour de Christ. Nous ne savons pas quand notre heure sonnera, veillons donc constamment à nous préparer pour cet instant solennel. Nous ne pouvons pas dire par quelles voies le diable s’attaque au cœur de l’homme. Au vu de certains péchés et de la tentation tellement insidieuse qui conduisent à la déchéance, le monde et la chair, il est clair que tous ces maux viennent directement de Satan.

Jésus lava les pieds de Ses disciples, afin de nous apprendre à estimer qu’aucun acte ne peut nous abaisser, quand nous cherchons à promouvoir la Gloire de Dieu et le bien de nos frères. Nous devons nous appliquer dans l’exercice de notre devoir, et nous devons mettre de côté tout ce qui pourrait nous entraver dans ce sens.

Christ a lavé les pieds de ses disciples afin de leur signifier toute la valeur de la purification spirituelle de l'âme, polluée par le péché. Notre Seigneur Jésus accomplit de nombreuses actions dont certaines ne furent pas comprises immédiatement par Ses propres disciples ; ils allaient les comprendre plus tard...

Ce texte témoigne de la tendresse qui émane de cette scène, qui pouvait paraître pour le moins insolite, (Jésus lavant les pieds de Ses disciples). Quand on rejette l’offre de l'évangile, sous prétexte qu’il est trop parfait pour nous, ou que cette bonne nouvelle ne soit pas entièrement véridique, on ne fait pas preuve d'humilité, mais d'incrédulité.

Uniquement ceux qui sont spirituellement lavés par Christ, ont une part avec Lui. Ceux qui Lui appartiennent et qu'Il sauve, sont alors justifiés et sanctifiés. Pierre a fait plus que de se soumettre : il demanda à être lavé par Christ. L’apôtre désirait bénéficier pleinement de la Grâce purificatrice du Seigneur Jésus : il Lui demanda de lui laver non seulement les pieds, mais aussi les mains et la tête !

Ceux qui désirent vraiment être sanctifiés, désirent l'être totalement, pour que leur être entier soit rendu pur. Quand le véritable croyant reçoit Christ en tant que Sauveur, il est lavé de ses péchés. Il faut remarquer quel soin journalier doivent observer ceux qui sont justifiés par le moyen de la Grâce : ils doivent « laver spirituellement » leurs pieds, se purifier de leur culpabilité journalière et de toute souillure. Cette pensée devrait nous rendre plus prudents !

Le fait d’avoir été pardonné par le Seigneur devrait nous fortifier dans notre lutte contre la tentation journalière. Quand on rencontre des hypocrites, cela ne doit pas nous surprendre ni nous faire chuter spirituellement.

Observons la leçon que Christ nous enseigne dans ce texte ; nos devoirs sont mutuels : nous devons à la fois accepter l'aide de nos frères comme aussi leur offrir la nôtre. Quand nous voyons avec quelle humilité notre Maître traita Ses disciples, nous ne pouvons que fuir toute attitude personnelle arrogante. Malgré la conduite hostile de Ses ennemis, notre Seigneur fit preuve du même Amour, quand on Le voit traiter ainsi Ses disciples et quand Il s'offrit en rançon sur la croix. Cet Amour toujours présent !

      Luc 22

      1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
      3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
      34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

      Jean 14

      9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
      10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

      5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
      9 I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
      10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.
      11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
      13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
      14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
      16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
