In a world that often feels like it is spinning out of control, we look for something—or someone—to hold it all together. We live in a fractured reality where, ever since the Tower of Babel, humanity has been scattered and divided. We find the disciples at this exact precipice.

Instead, He provides them with the "glue" that will bind them together for eternity: a New Commandment.

But the Kingdom of God offers a radical alternative. In John 13:1-20, Jesus demonstrates a better way.
