THE SEED
After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet.John 13:5
Jesus started washing people’s feet after taking off His outer clothes. Despite who He was, He provided the greatest example of service imaginable. To prove that there is monarchy in service and ministry, he took the most extreme conduct possible. The lowest of jobs for the lowest of slaves was washing people’s feet. We can see the need for royal service here. Jesus washed the disciples’ feet in order to show them the importance of service and ministry, motivated by three factors. He first understood that the time had arrived for His death and that He had little time left. Second, He had to start teaching His disciples whatever it was that He wanted to teach them. He loved all of His disciples, both in heaven and on earth, and He also loved His disciples. They were all beloved to him. No of the cost, he felt driven to aid them in any way he could. The enemy was going to attack and betray Him, and He knew who they were. Before the enemy struck, he had to take action. It was necessary to fortify and bolster the disciples. It would be too late once the enemy hit. In order to help other Christians walk in open confession and to be washed and cleaned from the dirt of the world, we Christians are called to serve them royally and selflessly. Jesus calls us to serve others by humbly attending to their basic human needs. He wants us to introduce people to Christ so that He might wash them clean from the impurities of the world and minister to their spiritual needs.
PRAYER
May I be humble and meek in my relationship with others.
