Day 3: The Power of Servanthood
In this powerful scene, we see Jesus - the King of kings - kneeling to wash His disciples' feet. This act of servitude wasn't just about cleanliness; it was a profound demonstration of love and a model for His followers.
Leadership in God's kingdom often looks upside-down to the world. Where in your life are you grasping for authority or recognition? How might embracing servanthood - in your family, workplace, or church - transform your relationships and witness? Remember, true greatness in God's eyes is measured by how we serve others.
Reflection Questions:
- Where do you feel a strong desire for power, recognition, or authority?
- How has this desire influenced your actions and relationships?
- How might you willingly step into a role of service today, regardless of your status or position?
Application:
Choose a specific task or role that requires serving others, ideally something menial or outside your comfort zone. Embrace this act as a way to practice humility and reflect Christ’s love, whether it’s volunteering at church or helping a neighbor in need.
