Love does not parade itself

Let’s say you are king of a small country.  What if you are a good king to your subjects?  No one in your kingdom goes to bed hungry.   Wouldn't you “deserve” to have them wait on you hand and foot?   And wouldn't you want this goodness publicized far and wide so that even the royalty in other countries praised you?   Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords healed the sick and raised the dead, but on a number of occasions he actually asked the people not to talk about what he’d done.    At the last supper, rather than have His disciples wait on Him, He washed their feet.   Loving people apparently means you’re focused on them and their needs, not on you and how you appear to others.   Jesus doesn't parade Himself, He simply loves.
