Christ, the Good Shepherd, is so because he not only leads his people, he <i>serves</i> them, and calls upon us to serve one another. But this service isn't slavery, nor can it ever be forced or demanded from another. Rather, it is what we ourselves offer up for the good of others.<br /><br />Christ washed the disciples' feet voluntarily; not only did they not demand it, they were distressed because he was assuming the lowliest of tasks for their sake, when they were expecting a king of kings.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
