DAY 3: SERVING WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
Read John 13:3-17.
This well-known passage sets the example we are to follow in our service to one another. “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.” (v. 14) This was a duty normally carried out by lowly servants, and certainly not something a “lord and teacher” ought to be doing for his guests.
To Consider
What kind of attitude is needed to serve in this manner? What are some underlying characteristics of this kind of service (e.g. sacrificial)?
Consider also that Judas was in that group of men. What does that say about Jesus’ servant attitude knowing that He knew Judas would betray Him? Are there Judas’ in your life? How can you have this same attitude toward others you will see this week? What would it look like more specifically in your work, in your home, in your church?
