S: John 13
O: Jesus demonstrated servant leadership. Knowing Judas would soon betray him, he took the part of a slave and washed the disciples’ feet. Verse 10 makes it clear, this included Judas’ feet!
Based on what Jesus said in verses 14-15, some churches made this a regular practice — in fact, the Pope does this every year. Simon Peter, whose bravado would be shown false soon, himself learned this servant leadership.
Servant leadership goes against our natural human nature when we come into positions of leadership. That's why there have been so many leaders who have violated this. Yet, this is what Jesus calls us to.
A: We need to stay humble when we’re put in positions of leadership.
P: Lord, make me like you, please make me like you.
You are a servant; make me one, too.
O Lord, I am willing, do what you must do
To make me like you, Lord, please make me like you.
