| Foot-washing pan |
As we watch royalty or other wealthy people at charities, we may imagine them talking at arms length, consoling and then returning to their luxurious homes. It somehow seems like a mere token gesture to create popularity but not a real personal sacrifice. Do such people actually get their hands dirty? Jesus was a real leader, not only because he willingly died on the cross for his followers, but he also got his hands dirty. In John 13:1-35 we see the example of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. Typically, one of them hinted that it was beneath a leader’s stature to wash feet. We might be tempted to say the same. Yet, Jesus said that if they would not allow him to wash their feet, they had no part with him. Do we allow him? Real leaders get dirty.
