As Jesus was giving His disciples critical instructions on how to live when He was gone, He gave this over-arching principal, “Love one another … as I have loved you.”  He also declared that the first would be last and the last, first.  As He came among His disciples to serve rather than be served, we can take this cue to live likewise.

Paul echoed this principal when he said we should in honor prefer others above ourselves.

Today, let’s take this step of humility and love so Christ’s love can still impact people.

DAILY PRAYER:  Father, forgive us for looking out for ourselves all the time.  We commit to loving others today.

DAILY READING:  John 13,14
