“Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you” (John 13:13-15).
In the first 17 verses of John 13, Jesus set us a perfect example. Certainly we have to admit how many times we fall short! But He has not made the example impossible to follow because we have the Spirit in us that gives us the power to succeed. Try today to follow Jesus’ example. He cared for His own and washed their feet to refresh them and clean them after a day of walking the dusty streets of the city and getting ready to meet Him in the upper room. You too can refresh other believers by encouraging them with the Word of God. What you enjoy in letting the Lord refresh and encourage you from His Word, you can then share with others. In doing this we will be happy Christians in our interactions and relationships with one another. At the end of the example the Lord said, “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” (John 13:17).
