The ultimate illustration of how we should live and be examples to our friends is Christ. At the Last Supper, Jesus takes the time to serve His disciples by washing their feet. This was a great example of servanthood because it was a disgusting job. People wore thin leather sandals and walked everywhere. Their feet became extremely dirty and grimy. Most often, the lowest servant or slave would oversee washing the feet of people before they entered a house. Jesus took it upon Himself to be that servant. He ends with the statement, “I have given you an example.” The ultimate example we should model in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity is Christ. Then Jesus commands us to do the same thing He did. We should be the kind of friend who loves the way Jesus did. We should become so selfless that we are only concerned about others. Think about your friendships. How would they look if you lived like this all the time?
