Wash One Another's Feet

John 13:14-16 – Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

Galatians 5:13 – You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Mark 10:43-45 – Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Application:

• ·         Christians should be willing to perform the most menial services for one another.
• ·         True Christian liberty is not license to sin but freedom to serve God and one another in love.
• ·         Jesus overturns the value structure of the world. The life of discipleship is to be characterized by humble and loving service.
• ·         Jesus came to the world as a servant—indeed, the Servant—who would suffer and die for our redemption, as Isaiah clearly predicted.
