John 13:1-17 NIV

April 13, 2017 by Church Without Shoes

12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Observation: Jesus knew they needed a tangible example of what a life of love and service looks like. No task is too menial. No effort to humble. If He did it, we are called to do it as well.
‘…do as I have done for you.’

Action: I encounter all kinds of people in my daily life. I am going to stop, look and listen to see where God is at work and ask myself the question, ‘how can I serve this person’? Just like Jesus.

    Observation: What keeps jumping at me this morning is, “Do you understand what I have done for you?” And yes I do…when I stop and remember. Much too often in my day I forget just exactly what Jesus did and how He served, His humility, love and mercy. What He sacrificed for us.
    Response: To really focus on what Christ did for me, how He served, and to say thank You. Then go and be observant and do the same.
