August 11, 2017: SOAP #2808: Jeremiah 7-9; John 13

Scripture:  John (NIV) 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped round him.

Observation:  With total confidence is Who he was, and with no doubt about who had sent him to earth and that he would be returning to the place from which he was sent…  With the weight of the Father’s plan now completely received…  The Father’s plan now solely rested on his shoulders…  Knowing that the Father had total confidence in him to carry through his assignment…  so, what does Jesus do?  He takes the role of a servant and washes his disciple’s feet!

Application:  Like, Jesus, I need to be willing to wrap myself in service clothes and pick up the tools of the needed service; to humble myself before someone and minister to their needs.  It must be more than an inner attitude; it must take on actions.  Being a servant is seeable.

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, lead me to be a servant like Jesus.  Amen
