ARE YOU A SERVANT?

"He rises from supper, and laid aside His garments and took a towel, and girded Himself...and began to wash the disciples' feet.." John 13:4-5. My friend, the world needs servants, isn't it? In these verses, we see the Master doing the work of a slave. Apparently, there were no servants available to do this job for Jesus and His disciples. so Jesus Himself gets up from the table, removes His outer garment, pour Himself a basin of water and begins to wash the feet of the Disciples. Did you realize that Jesus was washing the feet of the very man who would, later that same evening, betray Him to His enemies. His entire life was and example of servant-hood and service. He chose remote Nazareth over center stage Jerusalem, Carpenters house over marble palace, decades of anonymity over a life of popularity, he chose prayer over sleep, wilderness over the Jordan, built an apostles team of common man over angels like Michael and Gabriel. If I were Him, I would choose angels. He picked Matthew, Peter, Andrew and John. When they were afraid of storm-He stilled it, no money for taxes, he supplied it from the mouth of a fish, no wine for the wedding and no food for the multitude, he made both. Bro: we need servants. Stop going for Titles, positions, and power. Are you a servant? Well are you?
