We often hear the question, “If you had one day and night left to live, what would you do?” Most of us probably automatically began to think about all the fleshly desires we would appease. We probably began to imagine that we would go out and spend our last few hours in selfish indulgence and use the excuse, “you only live once.” But take a look at the verses in this chapter. Jesus HAD this opportunity! He only had a few hours left before he would be crucified and yet, what did he do? He ate one last meal with his disciples and washed their feet! He humbled himself to the position of a lowly servant and washed the feet of his followers! He didn’t go out and indulge in the comforts of his flesh. He didn’t go out and seek revenge against the Pharisees for being so unjust toward him. Instead, he wrapped himself in the garb of a servant and washed the feet of his followers. This story really brings a sense of humility and a new light to the question I started with. In his last few hours, Jesus didn’t focus on Himself. He focused on the welfare of others. What a great example for Christians everywhere to grow from! #christlikemodel #themastermadehimselfaservant #lastmomentsofjesuschrist #christian #bible #devotional https://www.instagram.com/p/CQGYZvSlueU/?utm_medium=tumblr
