>Our word for today from the Word of God comes from John chapter 13. I'll begin

>Now, here is the most complete man that ever lived, and He is demonstrating His

>knows who He is. He's coming from God; He's going to God. He's got it together,
>and He demonstrates that as it says in verse 5, "He poured water into a basin
>and began to wash His disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was
>wrapped around Him."
>The only Son of God is not too good to do the lowliest job in the house. Well,
>the real man is man enough to choose to be a servant; to pitch in on the dirty
>work; to be as manly doing the laundry as he is lifting some heavy furniture; to
>be as macho changing a diaper as he is changing spark plugs.
>Not too long ago there was an interesting comment from the wife of a friend of

>conquistador, you know, and they loved him where he was. He came in and he
>wanted to tell all his war stories of how much they loved him, and his wife
>said, "Honey, you know you always come home like a spoiled king." Huh... and you
>know what? He had to admit, she was right. "I want the world to revolve around

>Well, I'll tell you there's nothing very manly about coming home like a spoiled
>king. It's small; it's selfish. Jesus was just coming off Palm Sunday with the
>cheers of the crowd still ringing in His ears, and yet He went and washed the
>disciples' feet. How many of us men make our wives feel totally insignificant by
>implying that what she does all day long is too unimportant for us to touch?
>See, the sign of a real man is that he makes a woman feel important. And he does

>demonstrates his manhood when he serves his wife. Not because he's a wimp, but
>because he's secure and strong enough to love her in the ways that really mean

>You demonstrate your dignity, not by how many people do things for you, but how
