26
If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 26. We must minister to Jesus by seeking not our own things, but the things of Christ; that is; we must follow him, we must walk in his footsteps, we must perform the corporal works of mercy, and every other good work, for his sake, till we come to put in practice the most perfect act of charity, the laying down of our lives for our brethren. Then will he crown us with this greatest of rewards, the happiness of reigning with him. And where I am, there shall my minister be. Saint Augustine tract. 51. in Joan.
