If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet(John 13:14)
What an example of a boss, a leader, a teacher, a master?? It was the night before Jesus' crucifixion, after supper, he got up from the table, took a towel, poured water in a basin, and began to wash his own disciples' feet! Peter insisted Jesus never to wash his feet! The idea of his Lord/Master performing this menial service was unthinkable. Jesus not only completed the task, but commanded that they do the same for one another in the future.
Are we keeping the air about us when it comes to serving like Jesus. The symbol of washing one another's feet is more than words or pats on the back, a willingness to exhort, encourage and admonish one another toward a holy life, a willingness to help one another. Lord help me see like you do, work like you do and serve like you do!
