Do for Others What Has Been Done for You

Most people are familiar with the "Golden Rule" of Matthew 7:12: "Do to others as you would have them do to you." In this message, Dr. Ferguson connects this wellknown maxim to the foot-washing in John 13. As he continues to open up this event, Dr. Ferguson discusses the gospel as the key to understanding what Christ has done in washing His disciples' feet and what He wants them to do in washing the feet of others. Dr. Ferguson challenges Christians to "do for others what has been done for you" by Christ.
