One of my favorite Bible passages has become Philippians 2: 5-8, which says “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
I think of Christ being a servant through the illustration of Christ washing the disciples feet. From what I have heard the roads were dusty, the people wore sandals, and the feet would become very dirty. Washing feet was probably the “least liked”job. But, Christ washing the feet of His followers was not only a demonstration of love, but was also a demonstration of Christ being a servant.
Through the years I have learned that I should take upon the form of a servant in my life. There may be things that I may not enjoy doing, but when I do not do those things it will show pride. Pride is a sin. Pride is putting myself first before God or others. 
I need to show humbleness and have a willing heart to do even the most undesirable job.
Christ is the perfect example of on who took upon the form of a servant. I need to be like Christ and do the same.
