The Blessed Life

John 13:1-17

Jesus challenges Peter's understanding of the differences between serving and leading. He learned that day that to truly lead he would have to serve. In fact, that's the very definition of the blessed life, learning to serve others.

I love how Jesus makes it very clear to the disciples that their relationships together, how they deal with one another, love one another, support one another, and serve one another will be the example for the church for the future. This is the very Gospel lived out and it's not Jesus' example that's key, rather it's theirs!

Which brings us to our dilemma today...it means that the Good News life (living out the Gospel) is our task. We are to be the examples of love, service, forgiveness to the rest of the world! But it's not just a duty or a requirement...

...it's the key to a blessed life.

So, serve someone today, heck, serve everyone today and you'll start to get it!

If you understand what I'm telling you, act like it - and live a blessed life.
John 13:17
