John 13:3-15 --- I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ---John 13:15 ------- I think this is what Jesus had in mind in one of His last conversations with His disciples. He wanted to show them the full extent of His love. So before their last meal together, He took off His outer garment, wrapped a towel around His waist, and began to wash His disciples' feet. This was shocking because only slaves washed feet. It was an act of servanthood and a symbol that pointed to Jesus' sacrifice, passion, and humiliation on the cross. He said to His disciples: "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet" (John 13:14).
Imagine how different our world would look if we gave the kind of love to others that God has given us through Jesus. ------------ Christ's example teaches us That we should follow Him each day, Meeting one another's needs, Though humble service be the way. ~~~~~ TO KNOW LOVE, OPEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS. TO SHOW LOVE, OPEN YOUR HEART TO OTHERS.
