The Lowly Servant
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Luke 22:27
What an amazing statement the Lord Jesus makes! He who is the sovereign Lord of the Universe and is high above all nations (Ps. 113:4) condescends to take the place of a servant. He was serving those who should have been serving Him. It is incredible to think that He would take a towel and basin then stoop down and wash the dirty feet of His disciples. (John 13:4-5) If this is true of the Master, then we ought to follow His example. By love, serve one another (Gal. 5:13).

Like Thee in faith, in meekness, love, in every heavenly grace, More of Thine image daily gain, till we behold Thy face. —C. M.
