John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
– Luke 3:16 (ESV)

John says he is unworthy to untie the strap of Jesus’ sandal. 

That would have been an unpleasant job, to say the least.  People walked around on dusty dirt roads.  And unlike where I live today in the middle of winter, it was hot where Jesus lived.  People would often be sweating.  So the strap of a sandal would be grimy and smelly with dirt and sweat.   

And the great prophet John says he is unworthy to untie it.

Is that your view of Jesus? 

You would be unworthy to even untie the smelly and grimy strap of his sandal?

That even such a yucky task would be a privilege you are unworthy of because of His so much greater worth?

Serving Jesus in any way is a privilege.  Following Jesus is a privilege.  Any blessing He gives is a privilege.

Consider His great worth that makes any connection to Him at all a privilege. 

And then live like it.
