Daily Devotion: John 13

¹²When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. ¹³"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. ¹⁴Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. ¹⁵I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. ¹⁶I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. ¹⁷Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

It's just astonishes me that this would be the passage of scripture that is "assigned" for my devotion on my birthday! Indeed, this is another scripture that has inspired me in my journey as cell leader.

The greatest leader is one who is also a great servant. Before one wants to lead, he must learn to serve. This example was set by Jesus himself.

Application:

1. Have you been active serving in any area in cell/church? If no, why not?

2. Take an active step today to serve one brother or sister in the cell group.
