Throughout all His Ministry following His Baptism, Jesus Christ obeyed His Father in Heaven and provided for all the needs of all the people He encountered with. When He saw the sick He healed them. When He saw the demon possessed and oppressed, He delivered them. And as for the hungry and thirsty, He provided them with bread and drink. Just before His arrest, He demonstrated to His disciples how to respond to fellow brethren’s needs: “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He girded.” (John 13:1-5). After Jesus Christ had washed the feet of all His disciples including those of Judas Iscariot who would soon betray Him, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and LORD, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your LORD and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” (John 13:12-17). Christianity is about relationships. If you love God, then you also ought to love your brother. 1 John 4:20 says, “If a man say, l love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” The early Christians demonstrated this kind of love for God and to man. They prayed together and shared all the things they had, and lived in harmony. Acts 4:32 says, “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul; neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.” And great grace was upon all of them. Today I am therefore encouraging you to allow yourself to be invaded by the mind of Jesus Christ so that you know how to be of service to God and to your fellow brethren. Follow the example of the people of ‘The Way,’ as the early Christians were called, and l tell you that you are guaranteed of eternal life when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to collect His elect. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You LORD Jesus Christ for showing to me that as You came into this world You did not come to be served, but to serve God and men. May You fill me with Your character of humbleness and humility so that I may be a doer of Your Word. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
