Jesus lived as a common man among common men. He lived where they lived – fishermen, tax collectors, shepherds, street vendors – and He loved them all, outcasts of every kind, the untouchables, lepers, lunatics, Samaritans, street people and women taken in adultery. He loved kids and crowds, celebrations and solitude, miracles and quiet meals with old friends. He was a blue-collar man and He calls us to be blue-collar Christians – loving the loveless and washing tired feet, even when there is no one to watch.
“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
— John 13:14-15
Lord Jesus, give us a true servant’s heart and the strength to live it out. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
