Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 13:16

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, a servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him." — John 13:16 (ASV)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

Sometimes, we think that we are far too great to wash anyone's feet; we would like to see someone propose it to us, such important people as we are! If we talk like that, there is great need that we be humbled. That would be the true way to rise in the likeness of Jesus. Oh, that we were lower in humility! We would be higher in grace if we were.
