Humility and Serve

I am touched with my friend's expression where her eyes with tears that is almost flowing out, when she saw the washing of the feet by the priest at the Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) Mass. She can feel the humility in Christ himself, and the love for His people.

As we can see from the picture, Jesus as a son of God humbled himself and washed the feet of his apostle. We can see humility and the love of God for his people. God teaches us to love our neighbours and serve one another. Just in case you might be wondering what does it mean by serving one another. Christ himself teaches us what is Love, therefore we must love our neighbours just as we love Him. We can often pray for your family members, friends or relatives who are in need of it as a sign of love for your neighbours.

As God, He didn't count himself equality as God. He serve His people with love and passion and die on the cross for their sins. As God, He need not have to wash his apostle's feet, perhaps the feet might be smelly or have some diseases on it. But, God teaches us to be humble and serve one another with LOVE. Often, all these have been covered since the day we start to let pride to lead us in our life.

In this modern society, we often control by status and pride that become our mission or motto in our lives, and always forget the teaching of Christ. God command us to serve one another with love and great passion. He said: I give you a new commandment: 'Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another'. (John 13:34)

Sometimes we can see some people might try to achieve something with the expense of others. They do not really care about other people feelings. They just concern about their own achievement without concerning about their surrounding factors.They don't really care what people's feeling. Often in their mind, they might say 'Who cares, is none of my business'.

So, today God call us to love your neighbours, just as His love for us. Let us put down our pride who often destroy the morale of the people in this society, and humbly serve one another with great passion and love.
