John 13,12-17 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them."

If you want to learn more about Jesus, you will find out how different he was in comparison to the other people. Above all, he was not egoistic; he was a servant. His whole life on earth is a reflection of this. He was born in a stable instead of a palace. He entered into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, instead of on a high horse; and he washed the feet of his disciples and said that they should do the same. Jesus is an example that we should emulate. He taught us to serve.

The question is not: "How can I become great?", but rather: "How can I serve someone else?" Find someone for who you can do something good and experience God's blessing! sw
