In a "me first" world, it's counterintuitive that in order to go higher, you must stoop lower. However, that's exactly what Jesus taught his disciples on the day He washed their feet.
When the disciples began to argue about who would be the greatest in the kingdom, Jesus told them that they had everything backwards and upside down. If you want to be the greatest, you have to serve everyone. In John 13, Jesus gave a living illustration of what it means to serve.
