The Servant's Towel

One of the most amazing truths is hidden in the story of Jesus washing the Disciples’ feet. It is right at the end of the last supper and the beginning of chapter 13. The treasure is in these simple words, “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God… began to wash the disciples’ feet , and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded” (John 13:2-6).

Because Jesus knew his power and his position in God he was not afraid to be a servant. Are we?
