The most powerful man in the room, the one worthy of most honor, takes a bowl and towel, and does servant’s work. How do we use our lives to serve as Jesus served us?

TALK: Consider some of these ideas:
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” (John 13:8)
He’s been their teacher, their leader and Lord for years, and now they share one final evening together. How will he bid them farewell? If you were expecting one last miracle or show of power, think again. In baptism, we die to the old self to be born anew.
- How have you fallen into a role within your household or work environment?
- Was your role intentional or did you fall into it unintentionally?
- Wonder: What does it feel like to have someone wash your feet? Is it an intimate experience? Do you feel vulnerable?
PRAY: Almighty God, you took on the role of a servant when you gave everything for our sake. Teach us to humble ourselves for the honorable work of serving others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BLESS: May God reverse your role. Amen.
