what a humbling act

Joh 13:4 & 5

So he rose from the table, took off his outer garment, and tied a towel around his waist.
Then he poured some water into a washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.

Jesus humbled himself and served them like their servant. Though he was the Son of God, he did not claim his right. Rather he gave up his right and humbled himself to serve smelly and proud disciples

Yesterday at work a colleague called me to go see something out in the teagarden. There under a tree at a bench sat two ladies. Well actually one was sitting, the other was kneeling. The latter was busy washing the first’s feet. Afterward she poured some anointing oil on them and anointed it. I stood there watching in amazement. The lady who called me in the first place didn’t understand what they were doing. To me it was just a reminder. A reminder that we should be more like Jesus by serving. And a reminder that I shouldn’t be ashamed of my faith and I should practice it more freely.
