Titles And Responsibilities
READ: John 13:3-16
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. —John 13:14Research conducted by a leading compensation technology firm found that among employees planning to leave their companies, a majority felt they were underpaid. Fewer than 20 percent of them, however, were receiving less than the industry standard for their duties.
Bill Coleman, of Salary.com, believes that many unhappy workers are overtitled rather than underpaid. Some companies give employees lofty titles even though their job responsibilities have not increased. In time, employees feel they deserve more money than their actual duties merit. “When it comes to salary,�?Coleman says, “it’s what you do, not what you’re called, that counts.�?/DIV>
It’s interesting how Jesus dealt with the issue of titles and responsibilities. During the Last Supper, He performed the task of a lowly servant by washing His disciples�?feet, setting the stage for His astonishing statement about humility: “You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet�?(John 13:13-14).
Christ the Lord set the example for all who would follow Him, confirming that it’s not what we’re called, but what we do that counts.  �?David C. McCasland
When Jesus took a servant’s towel�?BR>His honor set aside�?BR>He humbly showed us how to serve,
And how to conquer pride. —Sper

The more we serve Christ, the less we will serve self.
