Wear the Title-Do The Work

John 13:5 "After that he poureth water into a bason,and began to wash the disciples' feet,and to wipe them with a towel wherewith he was girded".

You want the title,do the work.In this era of growing titles there seem to be more Chiefs than Indians.It seems that everybody is trying to one up each other.The Pastor is upped by the Bishop, who is upped by the Apostle,who is upped by the prophet,overseerer,the elder,to the point where I've even seen some profess to be the anointed one.Now I'm not challenging anyones calling or lack there of ,that is solely between them and God.But if you are going to wear the title, do the work.It is the responsibility of the head to care for the feet,not the other way around.

Now in our story today the disciple were in a heated argument as to who would be the greatest and who would sit where in the kingdom.They got caught up in the ambition for position,power and authority. This had to cut the heart of Jesus, being so long with them and yet they still didn't understand, to whom much is given much is expected.He needed to them.to get the message across forcibly enough that they would never forget the truth,that they way to glory was through service and not through position and authority. This is what led Jesus to wash the disciples feet.See the head cares for the feet.The greatest is servant to the least.Jesus the Son of God came to serve man.We whom God has appointed leadership have a responsibility to be servants of the Lord to those He died for.We must humble ourselves to meet the needs of others.

This walk is not about us it is about Christ and Him crucified.No matter what title we wear we are still nothing more than a servant of the Lord.Called to proclaim His message, about His salvation, to His people, that all might live with Him in His kingdom.Like it or not, it is not our church, ministry,or congragation, we are just servants in the ministry of our Savior.But if you are going to claim the title,at least do the work....
