The Lord’s Hospitality

The Lord’s Hospitality

…demonstrated so simply – and so powerfully – with a basin and a towel.

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things
under his power, and that he had come from
God and was returning to God; so he got up
from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that,
he poured water into a basin and began to
wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the
towel that was wrapped around him.

John 13:3-5

Talk about a lasting impression!

Jesus knew his time on Earth with his disciples
was rapidly drawing to a close. What powerful teaching could he give them to help prepare
them for the days ahead, and for a lifetime of discipleship?  Only to serve them.

Jesus is the most active one at the table. He is not portrayed as one who reclines and receives,
but as one who stands and gives.

How will you serve your Guests this Easter Sunday?

Model Jesus.
