Gospel in Life with Tim Keller
Sent with Grace
When Jesus knew it was his last time to train his disciples, he started their training with foot washing.
He gets up out of his place as the guest of honor, and he puts on a towel, picks up a basin, and begins to wash their feet. We’ve seen that this has symbolism that tells us who Jesus is. We look now at how it tells us what he came to give us: his salvation.
We learn here that 1) we have a deep problem, 2) there’s a twofold cure, and 3) why and how we can get it.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 16, 2016. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Purpose. Scripture: John 13:6-11.

When the gospel takes hold of your heart, you can become a gospel-humble person who is neither too self-condemning nor too self-loving. Instead, you can be transformed by the gospel to be a self-forgetful person who loves and serves others—loving your neighbor like you love yourself. This month when you give to Gospel in Life we’ll send you 2 copies of Tim Keller’s short book The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, which teaches us how to live as gospel-transformed people.
