John
13:4-5
He riseth from supper, and laid
aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason,….
Jesus
got up from the table after eating dinner and got things ready to refresh his
disciples. He took the necessary steps
in preparing himself and all that he needed to be a source of refreshment to
his disciples. Jesus shows us that
practical steps are holy steps. When we
get dinner ready, vacuum the living room or go to the market to buy milk, we
are being like Jesus. Jesus served his
friends not just with deep wisdom and teachings, but in using his own hands to
bring them comfort and cleansing. As we
go throughout our days seeking to be like Jesus, we can take great comfort in
knowing that the practical is spiritual.
It is through the practical that so much of His love and care is
experienced. The Word was made flesh so
that we might hear, touch and see God!
May all we have learned in the Word, come out through our fleshly
lives. As we serve those we love today,
remember that you are following in His footsteps!
