A Blessing to Let Jesus Serve You

What if Jesus

Isn’t frustrated with

Your unwillingness to serve Him

As much as your resistance to

Let Him serve you?

Join the disciples at the Passover table

And watch in stunned silence

As the Savior of the world splashes water

In the basin and robes Himself with

The menial servant’s towel

And takes on the unthinkable task

Of washing the feet

Of the faithless,

Of the soon to be three-time denier.

When Peter forbids the Messiah

To serve Him,

Hear Christ’s pleading:

“If I don’t wash you,

You have no share with Me…” (see John 13:1-9)

If you don’t let me serve you

By dying for you

And washing your sins,

You have no inheritance.

I bless you to see yourself

Through Jesus’ eyes—

He came to serve you,

To wash you,

To fill you.

Let Him do it,

Child of God,

Let Him do it.
