Ministry of the Towel: Serving God by Serving Others

In the 13th chapter of John, Jesus is having supper with his disciples. This is their final meal together before He is crucified. Jesus could have said so many things during this last supper. What would be His parting words? What life principle did He want to leave with them? Since this was the last supper, we can suppose that whatever He prepared to say, whatever principle He wanted to share would be significant! Important! Life-changing! Out of the many things Jesus could have taught, He chose to talk about serving one another. Jesus stated that He did not come to be ministered to or to be served but He came to serve. He personified servanthood through countless acts of grace and mercy in the community. He taught, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, raised the dead and fed over five thousand people. But His ultimate act of serving occurred when He sacrificed His life on the cross for all mankind. Regardless of the area of ministry, God has called everyone to serve.
