4th Week of Easter, Thursday, 29-04-2021

Acts 13:13-25 / John 13:16-20     

A good servant may not necessarily be a good master. 

In fact, the elements like water and fire are good servants but they are bad masters.

But to be a good master would mean that the master also knows how to serve with love and care.

In the gospel, Jesus after He had washed the feet of His disciples, said to them:

"I tell you most solemnly, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the man who sent him."

Jesus is telling His disciples that they must follow His example in serving others, and that is to serve with humility, 

So even though Jesus is Master, He served with love and humility, and this was expressed in washing the feet of His disciples.

In whatever way we serve, let us follow our Master and Lord Jesus, and serve with love and humility.

Let us know that we are always servants to one another and master of none.
