Here we see Jesus washing the disciple’s feet. Jesus would have been the last person to do this according to the customs of His day. Normally it would have been a servant or a host, not the V.I.P., the guest of honor. Peter questions Jesus about this when Jesus comes to wash his feet.
If there is ever any doubt as to our need to have a servant’s heart, Jesus’ example should make it clear. Here is the God-Man Jesus Christ washing the feet of His disciples. He could have easily expected, even demanded, that they wash His feet, but He washed theirs.
We need to follow Jesus’ example. A servant’s heart is what you are called to have. Where do you need to serve God and His people with humility?
Consider: 2 Corinthians 8:9
