I have posted my sermon from this morning on my sermon blog. The 4th in my “Touch Jesus” series, this is a Communion Meditation entitled “Serve Jesus – Serve Others”.

Here’s a portion of it:

Jesus and his friends had gathered for the Passover Feast – the most special feast of the year for Jews — the feast where they celebrated God giving their ancestors freedom from slavery in Egypt. As they gathered for this special feast, none of the disciples considered a menial – but important – task – washing the dust, dirt, and mud from the streets off their feet. They all knew that it needed to be done – but none of them wanted to do this menial task. They were too busy arguing about which of them was the greatest in the group – and no one dared assume the role of servant and carry out the courtesy of washing feet.
So – what does Jesus do?
Jesus – the one many had proclaimed to be King – the one many hoped would lead them to freedom from the Romans much as Moses had lead them to freedom over the Egyptians – put a towel around Himself and washed the disciple’s feet.
