Then he poured water into a basin
and began to wash the disciples' feet
John 13:5
As most of you know, my son Jay is a freshman this year at the United States Naval Academy. It's a very different kind of school. Therefore, my favorite text message from this fall was this:
The bad news is that I have a huge black eye.
The good news is that I got an "A" in boxing.
Today is known in many countries, like England, as "Boxing Day." It has nothing to do with hitting, sports, or black eyes; rather it is a day when, traditionally, the royalty and their servants traded jobs.
Jesus was royalty. When he washed his disciples feet, he reminded us that his whole life was "trading jobs." The king was always and continually a servant.
Today is Boxing Day. Who might you be called to serve this day?
In Christ's Love,
a guy who'd rather get an "A" in serving
than a black-eyed "A" in boxing
