The Great Teacher

Jesus wanted his disciples and his followers to serve one another. He did not want them to think only about themselves. He did not want them to think that they were so important that others should always serve them. He wanted them to be willing to serve others.

So, He did a good example. While they were all having a meal together, Jesus got up from the table and took off his outer garments. Picking up a towel, he wrapped it around his waist. Then he took a wash basin and put water into it. As they watched, Jesus went around to all of them, bent down, and washed their feet. Then he dried their feet with the towel.

What is a fine lesson? I will continue it tomorrow..
