This Sunday: Unreasonable Servanthood

October 27, 2011

Have you ever felt like an opportunity to serve was right in front of you, but for whatever reason you just didn’t think it was the right time and place for you to get involved?

Money is a little tight.

Time is precious, everything just feels so busy.

I have to check with my wife.

You’ve got the wrong guy.

In his last days walking this earth Jesus takes some time, while His own death was imminent, to wrap a towel around His waist, and wash his disciples’ feet.

To serve them.

And then he follows this up by saying “You see what I have done here for you, now go and do the same for others.”

Jesus wants us to wash people’s feet.

To serve them.

Even when it seems that we are staring our own death in the face.

So then the questions is…

Whats stopping you?

What gets in the way?

Do you think feet are gross?

Do you think the people are gross?

Is it just a bad time?

Or maybe…are you making all the reasons you don’t want to serve…bigger than the God who is asking you to?

Maybe….you don’t really believe you are a servant at all.
