Just wondering

I was just wondering how many of us Pastors (and actually all Christ-followers) act on Jesus' teaching in John 13. I see a lot of posturing and attention-seeking amongst believers today, but very little of what Jesus modelled for us.

When he {Jesus} had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. (John 13:12-17)

To be fair, I know that there are a lot of servant-hearted believers in our communities, because these are the Christians that make the most impact for the kingdom. I guess they are the ones who act for Jesus without publicizing their actions.
