Blessed if You Do Them

"If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them." John 13:17

What things? Jesus said this right after he washed the apostles' feet. He wrapped a towel around his waist, got down on his knees and did a servant's job. Are we supposed to go around with a towel washing other peoples' dirty feet and bunions? I doubt it. 

Most likely, we are supposed to take care of one one another. Serve one another. Love one another. Notice what others need and be there for them. It's not only feet that get dirty. Our hearts get tired, weary. If we see a brother or sister in need of some heart washing, we can be the one to provide it. We can pray for them, listen, give practical help, take them out, take care of the kids while they get some rest. Oh I wish I could be that person who notices! Who gets the towel out to wipe not only feet but blood, sweat and tears. 


Dear Jesus, what an example You gave for us! May we be like You, seeing what is needed and ready to serve!
