Title: Let's Serve with Life / John 13:14,15
Let's serve with life / John 13:14,15
“Because I have washed your feet as Lord and Teacher, you also ought to wash one another’s feet, just as I have done to you… ” (John 13:14,15)
Jesus is the Son of God, the master and teacher of his disciples, but rather he bowed his head in front of the disciples, got down on his knees, took up a towel, and washed the smelly feet of the disciples. And he spoke today's text. Jesus demonstrated the leadership of service and the leadership of servants, and also commanded Himself.
We must follow the model of service that Jesus showed in his life. But you don't have to think too hard about it. You can start with the easiest and learn to get used to it.
First, make a habit of being considerate of others rather than yourself. Even if you just change your mindset, it will be a starting point. The most basic things in church community life, fill the middle of the chair during worship, come 5 minutes early and sit in the front seat, eat clean without leaving any leftovers in the dining room, line up in turn, slide the chairs into place , tissues that have fallen all over the place You can practice serving in these small things, such as picking up and cleaning the toilet.
If you raise the level by one level, listen to your neighbors or neighbors, create a habit of encouraging and praising, visiting people in need (hospital or home), actively supplying the needs of those who need you without making excuses, food Making a little more and sharing it with your neighbors, these things are serving others with your life.
Serving is not a grand thing. When we practice serving from the smallest things, we create tremendous happiness in ourselves, our neighbors, and our community. At that time, the church community in which Jesus, who is the model of service, is the owner, will be healthy and established as a true church where those who serve will receive the highest recognition and respect.
Dear saints, let's create happiness through service. I bless you in the name of the Lord that all of you may become great people by serving and become honorable people who are respected by everyone.
