Service

In the day's reading from John we learn that Jesus insisted on washing the feet of his followers.  This act of service was a striking example of the kind of leadership Jesus offered and what he thought it meant for him to be a king.  In today's world, we often hear talk about "servant leadership."  Here we see what it means: a self-giving, self-denying assistance to others, no questions asked.

Today, I invite us to reflect on how we might better serve God's people, not just those we know, but the stranger, too.  Not just those we like or love, but those with whom we are at odds.  Then, let us go serve others as God in Jesus served you and me.
