\"Jesus
\nJesus, our Lord and Teacher, came to serve rather than be served (Mk. 10:45). The Master Teacher<\/a> demonstrated taking on the role of a servant<\/a>. He then said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” Hence, we learn from the Master Teacher not only to be a servant but also a model.<\/p>\n

Jesus, the Master Teacher, Taught by Example<\/h2>\n

In demonstrating how to be a servant by washing His disciples’ feet, Jesus modeled what He wanted the disciples to do. His life backed up His instruction, giving what He said even more credence and impact.<\/p>\n

Implication:<\/strong><\/em> Examine your own life. Can you ask students to follow your example? You can when it’s about how you “follow the example of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1).<\/p>\n

The Master Teacher went beyond what people should know to what they should do. He said, “I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you” (Jn. 13:15). Showing the disciples an example of what it means to be a servant, which He also did on other occasions, increased the potential of them taking a Christ-like approach to ministry.<\/p>\n

Implication:<\/strong><\/em> Make application of truth your objective, reinforcing what students should do by your own actions as a Christ-like example.<\/p>\n
