Do As I Do
Tuesday, November 11, 2025Key Verse
“For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” John 13:15
Text — John 13:12-15
Message
People often say “do as I say, not as I do” because it is simpler to tell others what to do than to do it ourselves. Sometimes, we struggle to follow our own rules orhave different standards for ourselves compared to others. Also, some people choose what’s easiest or best for them instead of being consistent in what they say and do.
In our Bible passage, Jesus showed us something really special. He did something surprising – He washed His disciples’ feet! Back then, this job was usually done by servants, but Jesus did it Himself to teach us an important lesson. Jesus wants us to be like Him, loving and kind to others.
As believers, it is important to support others in the church and community. Assist a friend in distress, offer help to the weak, and show kindness to those in need. By serving others, we demonstrate God’s love and show that we are following the Master’s footsteps.
