Towel
JESUS SAID THE answer to pride was a towel ( John 13)...
Men have never been good at using towels. After three years of concentrated teaching, the apostles were still pushing and shoving for the chief seats. If Jesus was not angry, He was disgusted. Without a word, He washed feet. On cue, Peter whipped out his "no, never" sermon. Without mercy, Jesus cut him to the ground. Christian lives/churches are built only with towels.

KneEmail: "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you" ( John 13:14-15).
