Foot-washing Leaders
Leadership Lesson
Serving those we lead will bring blessings to everyone.
Read John 13:12–17.
Comment
Jesus’ washing His followers’ feet was not just a beautiful expression of love; it was an intentional action that Jesus called his disciples to imitate. Because the Creator of the universe and ultimate authority and judge washed feet, it’s the call of every Jesus-style leader. Jesus did it, so we too are foot washers. This means that we go out of our comfort zone to practically help those we influence. Jesus-style leaders readily sacrifice their own agendas and needs to do what is best for those who follow them. This sounds challenging, but according to Jesus, the result will inevitably be a blessing. Of course, those we serve are blessed by our love and actions, but Jesus says that we will be blessed as well (13:17). The blessing we receive include the love and respect of our followers, the growth of our influence, the joy of living like Jesus, and the eternal appreciation of God. Jesus-style leaders don’t miss out when they “wash feet.” If you have any doubts that serving is Jesus’ way to lead, listen again to his command: “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet” (13:14).
Prayer
Okay, Lord, I get it. You are calling me to a life of Jesus-style leadership through “foot washing.” I know that I will find it difficult and demanding at times, but I can see that it’s Your way of leading, and therefore I know that it is right and good. Please make me a good “foot washer,” and in your grace, bless me through it.
Personal Reflection
Think of a “foot-washing” action that you could do for someone you are serving or leading this week. It may be something you were already planning to do, but it would be good if you could do something outside the ordinary.
