A message from the series “Conversations With Jesus.” Jesus’ conversation with His Apostles in the Upper Room covers a lot of ground: the Holy Spirit, Judas’ betrayal, love, and the persecution to come.
In addition to that, there are various subplots worth considering, such as the simple fact that Jesus washed Judas’ feet in John 13 — despite knowing that Judas would betray Him.
What can we learn from this conversation in an upper room nearly 2,000 years ago?

CloseNearly a third of Jesus' teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though -- they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn't. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective. Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.
