*📖A TRUE SERVANT*

📜Now that I, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet *John 13:14 (NIV)*

📋Do you equate success with wealth, acclaim, and power? If we measure by these standards, then Jesus, who was rejected by his community and didn’t even own a house, was a failure. But, of course, we know that is not the case. So God must use something other than these worldly things to define success. In fact, Jesus is our example—we should strive to be like him. So, what exactly was our Saviour’s mission? In today’s passage, we see the answer through his actions: He came to serve. Jesus performed the task of the lowliest servant when he took off his outer garment and washed the dirty feet of his followers. Jesus Christ offered himself to be crucified by his own creation. In allowing this, he offered salvation to all—even those who nailed him to the cross. Jesus deserved glory but chose sacrifice and pain. And he taught us to follow his example of service which his disciples obeyed. In fact, they all faced persecution, and most died brutal deaths because of their faith. They willingly walked the path of humility because of what Jesus had taught them: “The last shall be first and the first last” (Matthew. 20:16). Is your worth determined by the resources you own? God has a higher calling for his children. Ask him to nurture a servant’s attitude in your heart, which is a higher calling for his children.
