SERVE OTHERS
John 13:1-20

Jesus is the Master of masters who washed feet. As the feet washing Master, He passed it down to those who would follow Him; not just those who wanted to be a member of the multitudes. To learn and become a master feet washer, one has to be sitting at the feet of the Master at times without number. It is at the feet of Jesus where every believer will have to sit before learning to become a true follower of Jesus. Jesus confirmed in Luke 10:42, “But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Jesus was letting Martha know that it was not all about the work of service alone. At the feet of Jesus, a believer will get what cannot be taken away. Also, it is at the feet of Jesus that a believer can sit and learn all that it takes to become a master feet washer. Jesus preached by example and was demonstrating by example when He offered to wash His disciples’ feet. Peter attempted to deny Jesus from washing his feet. John 13:8-9, “Peter said to Him, ‘You shall never wash my feet!’ Jesus answered him, ‘If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.’ 9 Simon Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!’” As a believer who has answered the call of salvation without being schooled at the school of washing feet, there will be no other way to having a part with the Lord. Jesus has delivered all the lessons that it takes for a man to be a feet washing master. If a believer will learn to constantly go to the feet of Jesus that is entrenched in the pages of Bible, they will become a master feet washer just as Jesus expects from us. Have you been called to be a master who washes feet? Any struggle with self in getting down and washing the feet of those who the Lord has placed under your calling is a demonstration of emptiness. Jesus is the Word of God and the Word that He spoke to them in the Bible days is still speaking to all who have been called to follow today. To know how to wash feet is all it will take for pride not to prevail over humility. To become a master who serves is to be a serving master. Jesus dispatched services to His followers and that registered Him as the Master. Spend time in the Word of God and you will discover that it is all about humility and not about pride that amounts to nothing good but rather permanent destruction.

Prayer for today: Let not arrogance, pride and every other self-designed way for self-destruction have its way in my life in Jesus name.
