The Way to Wholeness

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.”

In today’s scripture verse, Jesus, the Son of God, had just washed the feet of His followers…while on His knees. This is the Messiah…our salvation…our model for living our lives.  The Creator of all things…self-emptying…to become the servant of all. This is quite a different path than the model given to us by our consumer economy, celebrity culture, entertainment industry, etc. Jesus tells us that the way to the top in God’s kingdom…is by going to the bottom! Until we follow Jesus as servants to others…reaching out to all those left behind and on the outside-looking-in…true inner peace and lasting happiness are impossible. The risen Christ is calling you to follow in His footsteps. How are you being called to serve?
