Do You Know What I Have Done Unto You?


In John 13, we read, that at His last Passover on earth, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet. His chosen were clean once for always because they were His, not all of course. But they needed their feet washed. Jesus nevertheless washed Judas’ feet also. And in verse 12 Jesus said,
Do You Know What I Have Done Unto You?


If we were to write everything that Jesus did,
John 21:25 would tell us, There are many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. But Ephesians, beginning in Ch. 1, actually lists a few of the blessings which God in Christ, (Who is Jesus) has “done unto us.” And it started back in Gen. 3:21, for Adam and his wife, the LORD God made tunics (a long shirt-like garment) of skins, and clothed them. I believe those skins were from lambs.

Eph. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies places in Christ,

Eph. 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, (in the heavenlies)

Eph. 1:5 having predestined us for adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Eph. 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

Eph. 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Eph. 1:8 which He made to abound toward us (to furnish  richly so that one has abundance) in all wisdom and prudence,

Eph. 1:9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

Eph. 1:11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Eph. 1:12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

Eph. 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Eph. 1:14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Eph. 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you (us) the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Eph. 1:18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Eph. 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

Eph. 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

Eph. 2:6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Eph. 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Eph. 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Eph. 2:18 For through Him we both (Jews and Gentiles) have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Eph. 2:19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

Eph. 2:22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Eph. 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

Eph. 3:19 to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (in Him the fulness “same word”  of the Godhead is pleased to dwell Col. 2:9)

There is much here to study; much to learn; much to understand, and much to know.

2 Peter 1:3, His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence.

 “Whosoever would see Christianity in one treatise, let him read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the Epistle to the Ephesians.” ~Spurgeon
