Dear friends,
Here’s a devotional poem for today. It’s based on what Jesus said in John 13:15:
Jesus Rose from the Table
Jesus rose —
He rose from the tomb,
victor over death;
He rose from the table,
example for our lives.
Stripping down to servants’ garb,
the Lord of All Creation
humbly rose from dinner
to do the good
that needed done.
With followers quarreling
over which of them was best,
God Himself washed
dust and dung off
dirty disciple feet.
Returning to the table,
the King serving servants said:
“Now you should do
as I have done;
love and serve each other.”
Servant soles Kingly washed,
insteps free of past roads’ filth,
we learn:
“How happy you will be
if you do as I have done.”
