Washing of Feet

Todays devotional was found in John 13:3-15  Imagine the disciples’ surprise when the Son of God put Himself in the role of a lowly servant and knelt to wash their feet. The need for such a service was great, as they had been traveling for some time. But not one of them offered to do it. Mr. Stanley is right! So many times we see needs for different things but no one offers to do anything about it.  We all hope that someone else will step up. Yet, the son of God stepped up to the role of a lowly servant.  That brings tears to my eyes.

Mr. Stanley goes on to say:"In fact, the act itself is not the main point; attitude is what counts. Jesus desires that we be willing to humble ourselves to serve others. He is looking for men and women who will ignore pride, position, and power in order to do whatever must be done, wherever it needs doing, and for whoever requires assistance.Jesus performed His greatest and most humble acts of service within 24 hours of each other. He washed dirty feet using two hands that would be pierced by nails in less than a day. The message here is that every task God gives us is important to His kingdom."

Are we willing to humble ourselves to serve others?
