"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."

What do I mean by "incarnation?" Simply what God did in Christ by taking on human flesh. Of course it should be said; that the incarnation is a once and for all time event that can never be repeated. So what do I mean by saying that we should be Christ like in incarnation? Simply that we ought to pursue the willful descent that Christ embraced in taking on human flesh. Paul puts it like this:

In your relationships with one another, have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human being,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death-
even death on a cross!

We are called to imitate Christ in our humility toward one another.
Are you living in a way that reflects Christ's humility in your relationships?

Grace to You from Marcus
(Largely stolen from "The Radical Disciple by John Stott)

"God wants his people to become like Christ, because Christ likeness is the will of God for all of God's people."

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Eph. 2:8-10)

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."  How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?  And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Rom. 10:13-15)
