Devotion: Embracing Humility and Service

Scripture Reading: John 13:1-17

1. Reflect on the Story

In a powerful act of humility, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. This was a task typically reserved for servants, yet Jesus, their Teacher and Lord, performed it to demonstrate the true nature of servant leadership. By doing so, He gave His disciples—and us—a profound example of love, humility, and service.

2. Digging Deeper

Jesus’ actions in John 13:14-15 are a call to humility and service: “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” This passage challenges us to put aside our pride and status to serve others. True greatness in God’s kingdom is measured by our willingness to humble ourselves and serve, not by our position or power.

3. Call to Action

Reflect on your attitudes towards humility and service. Are there areas where pride prevents you from serving others? Consider practical ways you can serve those around you, whether through acts of kindness, volunteering, or simply offering a listening ear. Embrace the mindset of Christ, who served selflessly and loved deeply.

4. Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your example of humility and service. Help me to follow in Your footsteps by serving others with a humble heart. Teach me to put others’ needs before my own and to love without expecting anything in return. May my actions reflect Your love and grace to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
