Stairwell to the Servants Quarters
I am so full of myself and my own importance. If I am not noticed and my work not recognized, I grow sullen. (For instance, why don't more people read my blog?!) Then I read of Jesus' service to his disciples in John 13. He takes up the basin and towel and washes their feet, a job that was usually reserved for Gentile servants. It was beneath the Master, but He did not regard it as such. "The stairway to the ministry is not a grand staircase but a back stairwell that leads down to the servants quarters." -Edmund Clowney
