“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done to you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater that the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:13-17
Meditation:
There is no greater love than the love that Jesus Christ has for us. Jesus laid down his life for every single person in the world, regardless of who they are or what they have done in their lives. In John 13:13-17 Jesus was setting the example of how we should love one another and help one another...." no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him." Jesus was God's servant and God's messenger and God gave Jesus his power to heal, and do many miracles. If you take a look at the world back then and even at the world now, you would probably think otherwise. Mankind has been riddled with evil since the Fall of Man at the beginning of time. Human beings have turned on God many times. They have hurled curses at Him, doubted His existence, and accused Him of many things. But God never shook in His love for us. When Jesus, who was God in human form, was on earth He experienced the same thing. But this did not deter Him from what He came to do. He continued to love every person that came His way. Today, Jesus does not view us, the children of God, as servants. He considers us to be his friends. He sees us as more than people who do his bidding. He sees us as people. He loves us wholly, completely, and He desires to have a relationship with us. In this relationship He guides us, strengthens us, and instructs us. We reciprocate that love through believing in Him and carrying out His instructions. It's not much of a task for us when you compare it to what Jesus went through to save us. We won't find such love anywhere else but in Him. He loves us completely and there is nothing that will ever make Him change His mind about us. He is for us, now and forever.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven thank you so much! For sending Jesus to Pay in full for our sins, which gave us Salvation and Everlasting Life!
Help us to follow your example, to love with actions, because “Actions speak louder than words.”
In our loved Savior Jesus name we pray. Amen!
