Be Like Jesus

Many years ago, lots of people wore bracelets, t-shirts, etc. that had WWJD (What Would Jesus Do).  Many people got on board because it was a “fad” but today What Would Jesus Do is still relevant.

There is an essence of trust in what Jesus can do.

So, let’s bring life back to WWJD.  Who can better teach us about having a servant’s heart than Jesus?

Jesus is our model on how to serve.

“When you see a life changed, that is a miracle.” – Elder Michelle Jackson

What can we learn?

.

We Have to Serve with Love (vs. 1)

Jesus loved those who were helping in His crucifixion even to the end.

• Shows us how to prioritize
  Must prioritize, not balance!

“When we take care of God’s business, He will take care of ours.” – Elder Michelle Jackson

• Helps us to reposition (v4)
  Jesus got up to physically reposition
  Note that the disciples did not get up

“We have to get up and reposition to serve people.” – Elder Michelle Jackson

• Have to reposition financially
  Have to be open to giving sacrificially

.

Have to Serve with Humility

Jesus got up (repositioned himself) to wash the feet of others

“Jesus had to humble himself to look like us.” – Elder Michelle Jackson

We need to show compassion to all people.

Serve without partiality.

.

Serving is Our Obedience to God

If there is a teacher, there is also a learner (vv 14-15)

Once we recognize Jesus as the teacher, we also become a student.

I do, we do, you do.  Jesus will show you how to DO

“It’s one thing to know what you should do, it’s another thing to do it.” – Elder Michelle Jackson
