My best friend met up with me later than I expected. ‘I was washing up after the service,’ she said. It didn’t surprise me. She loves the Lord and loves to serve.
Washing up isn’t a prerequisite to enter the kingdom of God, but serving demonstrates that we are a part of God’s kingdom.
Christ washed the feet of his disciples and gave himself for us. When we as Christians serve humbly—do the dirty jobs and put others first—we are being Christ’s hands and feet.
When we serve, it’s easier to focus on the One who called us. When we serve, we invite the Holy Spirit to use us to do great things for God’s kingdom.
While ‘washing dishes’ isn’t glamorous, if we are faithful in the small, we can be entrusted with much (see Matthew 25:21).
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us serve others as you did. Amen
