TRUTH: Gospel-centered service is motivated by Jesus’ action for me.

Gospel-centered service to another…

1. Begins with love
John 13:1 :: Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2. Requires humility
John 13:5 :: Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

3. Calls for impartiality
John 13:11 :: For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

4. Refuses the temptation of power
John 13:15-16 :: For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
