The reason Jesus served was because it was his nature(Phil 2:7)- He was a servant,
He did not serve in order to become a servant
John 13
Jesus washed the disciples' feet because they were dirty. Its that simple. What needs can you meet in a person's life today so that they can move on to communion with Jesus?
Jesus washed Judas' feet knowing that it wouldn't make a difference in the way Judas treated him in return. What if practicing obedience is the only purpose for your service? What if you don't get to see any growth and rewards? Is service still your nature?
whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matthew 20:26-28
