The feet of Judas

4/27/2014

0 Comments

 
John 13:1-17

Jesus washed the feet of Judas.  He knew what was going to happen yet He washed his feet.  He chose to serve even
the one who would betray Him.  He chose to demonstrate to the other disciples the true meaning of servant leadership.
His example is one that we are commanded to follow. (vs 14,15)   How do we respond to others who are not 'one of us'?  Do we treat them with mild contempt, being careful not to get to know them a little too well?   How do we respond to those in our lives who treat us with little or no respect?
 
Put yourself in Jesus' place, kneeling at the feet of Judas.  Can we do what Jesus did willingly or would we consider it beneath us?   Following Jesus means to put ourselves in some very uncomfortable places, but the rewards of being obedient are eternal.   When I place myself at the feet of Judas, I find that I rebel against what he did to my Lord and Savior.  But I also see that his betrayal is no worse than mine when I sin and follow my own way. 
 
Open my eyes, Lord, to see who I really am and who You want me to be, who you want me to serve.  Show me my attitude as you see it. Help me to wash the feet of those who need to see a servants heart,  a picture of Your heart and love in
action.

In the loving name of Jesus
Amen

Here am I, Send me

Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send?  And who will go with us?" And I said "Here am I.  Send me!"
 
Isaiah 61:1
The spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,  to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
 
A song from John Fogerty's "Centerfield" says so much about the way missionaries feel.  
It says
"Oh, put me in Coach, I'm ready to play today.
Put me in Coach, I'm ready to play today.
Look at me, I can be centerfield."

That player is ready to be in the action.  He is ready to take what comes at him and give the best he has for his Coach.  He isn't asking to be the pitcher or the center of attention, he is offering to be on the outskirts of the action.  He is willing to be in the outfield where it is a harder job with less recognition. Jesus has called us to be his disciples and missionaries in whatever 'centerfield' he may send us to.  Whether it is around the corner,  around the block,or around the world, He equips us with the desire, the skills and the gifts to achieve His will.  We are sent to a people who don't necessarily know or accept the Lord our God.  We are there to bind up their emotional wounds and offer them eternal healing. It is not our responsibility whether they choose to hear or not,  only to provide the information the best way we can and continually hold them in our hearts and our prayers.
