God (Jesus) washed the disciples' feet and said, "as you have seen me do, so should you do to one another ". But this is not actually true, has not God always been the master and not the servant? Was it not his creation to use and protect as he pleased? Yet he gave it to his created beings to use. He provided for them. He overlooked many insulting and grievous transgressions against him.
What do we do? Like Him we create; we take sticks of wood and construct a house. Then we become concerned over the house. The house becomes our protection, it is our peace giver, it is our thing of beauty, it is our future, it is our life giver. We forget the source of us and all that we use. We forget who made the trees, the metal ores, the materials for concrete, paint and glue. We forget our creator.
We do not realize the house is not serving us, we are serving the house. We have come to worship the house. God serves us and provides for us, but he remains God. We are never, were never, and will never be God. How can we forget God and serve a pile of sticks. Can we not remember: "as you have seen me do, so should you do to one another."
