Suffering Servant

John 13:14-15
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”

Jesus, the Son of God, on his knees washing the feet of his followers! This is the Messiah…our Salvation…our model for living our lives. This is quite different from the model given by our consumer culture, entertainment industry, etc. Until we follow Jesus as servants to others, true inner peace and lasting happiness are impossible. How can I serve?

Suggested song of the day– “I Want to Follow You” on the Listen to Your Heart album.
