ACTS 13:13-25/PSALM 89:2-3,21,22,25,27/ JOHN 13:16-20
SERVICE
“Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him” (John 13:16). Service is what makes a servant relevant. Jesus recounted severally in this gospel that he is one with the Father; because he came to do what the Father sent him. Believers are called to serve. Service makes us one with him. Again, we are serve in humility especially in a society that celebrates pride.
Lastly, the first reading tells us how Paul became a preacher after his conversion. After all the persecutions against Christains, Paul eventually submitted to the Master in service to the same Christian body. Beloved, no one is greater than the Master. He exemplified his service by washing the feet of his disciples, we too are expected to do the same in service to others.
LET US PRAY
Father, we thank you for the gift of this day. Bring all our actions under the influence of the Holy Spirit. May we be of help and service to those we meet. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
