Servanthood

now that Wed night is over, i can finally talk about what happened on Tues night.

it was the most usual day for me, going to work as usual. rushing month-end closing, i sms Pst Z, Pat and Joyce to tell them that i'll be late for meeting cos of work, can only reach at 9plus. leaving my office slightly after 9, i made my way to suntec like the week before for our usual zm.

but that zm was not usual.

when i finally reached, nick looked at me and said, "you should be the last, there shouldn't be anymore coming after you." to me, that was normal also since it was almost reaching 10pm. when i walked in, everyone was kneeling down as Pst was reading to them a passage from the Bible. then 1 sentence Pst said struck me. "as we travel and walk about, the part that gets the most dirty is the feet. so while you all have been walking with me to serve Jesus, i want to serve you tonight by washing your feet."

Pst is the 2nd person to wash my feet. the 1st person to do that was my ex-cgl many years ago. i still remember the exact position i was sitting at in my ex-mbr's room in tamp.

brought back lots of memories and thoughts. to leave you with the words of Jesus:

"Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them."
John 13:12-17 (NLT)
