After that, He (Jesus) poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. John 13:5

 Over my lifetime and career, I’ve worked at countless number of public events. The planning and coordination is very time consuming, but necessary if the event is to be a success. During those events, I’ve witnessed leaders taking care of the most mundane tasks, just to fill in the cap. Their willingness to take on the “behind the scenes” work, speaks volumes to their commitment to serve.

 Within hours of Jesus Christ’s death, at the Passover meal, Jesus performed the most mundane task, reserved for the lowliest slave, by washing the disciples’ feet. This humble act showed His disciples (and us today reading this story) that nothing should be excluded from His children/followers by serving with a humble spirit, even the most mundane tasks. Wither you are a minister, manager, or just the everyday Christian, your service to the Lord should never faulter. There are many tasks that need be completed to accomplish the mission of the church and outreach. Are you willing to humbly serve?

 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; Colossians 3:12

 This list of virtues should be the hallmark of your life. Humility was clearly displayed by our Savior and we should follow suit, as we live out our lives in service to the Lord. God bless!
