Servant of All




As I meditated upon how Jesus said, “You call me, “Teacher” and “Lord”, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet” (John 13:13–14, NIV), I am being reminded of how Jesus took the place of the lowest household servant and rolled up His sleeves to wash His disciples’ feet. Truly, Jesus said to His disciples, “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34, NIV). By this, I observed how Jesus has upheld His authority through His leadership style – reminding you & me of our gift of salvation telling us to love each other.

Hence, this prompts me to live humbly as a servant by caring for someone when I wash his/her feet today reflecting Christlikeness through me. And, how I must serve my fellow brother/sister in whom God has entrusted me with a responsibility for this person to be in my care and for me to reflect upon my own attitude as I become a willing servant of all (Mark 9:35, NIV) while I pondered upon my Maundy Thursday’s reading.

How are you caring for someone as you serve God today?
