Wednesday, May 9th
After Jesus
had washed the feel of His disciples,
Jesus said to them, "I tell you
most solemnly, no servant is greater
than his master: no messenger is greater
than the one who sent him ...whoever
welcomes the one I send welcomes Me,
and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the
One who sent me,"
John
13:14-20
Understand and take into the heart
of your being the lesson I gave
when I washed the feet of My beloved
disciples. As I did to them, so
do I look to all My followers to
do to each other. And how may they
serve each other in love and humility
save through their life in Me? And
the quality of their service to
each other will reflect the liveliness
and depth of their life in Me.
And each one of My beloved followers
must regard their fellow yoke-bearers
in Me as My representatives in love;
they must entertain them in joy
and listen for My word in them,
for through the victory of My incarnate
life, death and resurrection I have
interpenetrated the fastnesses of
the human heart and mind, offering
the Father's love and wisdom and
blessing to all who are true of
heart and mind, and faithful to
My Presence within them.
