entering his last days

We are in the middle of what most christians call "The Holy Week." Tomorrow night we will come together for a Maundy Thursday service and focus on the new mandate or command Jesus gave. On Friday, we will have a good Friday service and focus on what Jesus did on the cross. However, at theGathering tonight we are going to focus on a simple act Jesus did with his disciples during the last supper, litterally hours before suffering on the cross.

The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas
Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. 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 13:2-5

After he washes his disciples feet, he then tells them to wash one another's feet.

What does that look like for us roughly 2000 years later?

I believe to serve Jesus to the benefit of another, shows the deepest level of love and humility. So, how can you use your talents, resources, services and life to serve one another? Maybe it means:

mowing the yard of the single mom in your neighborhood (for free)

doing the thing in your office nobody wants to do

doing laundry for your wife

helping the family out that you know is struggling financially.

I don't believe it was an option that Jesus was giving us. I believe he mandates or commands us to Love God, Love People and to Serve One Another!
