“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash another’s feet.”
— John 13:14 (NIV)


🛁 The Shock of Sacred Service

Let this sink in:

  • The Creator of the universe knelt in dirty streets
  • The King of Kings touched cracked heels and calloused toes
  • The Spotless Lamb embraced grime to show us true love

Interactive Reflection:
Who comes to mind when you think of “undeserving” feet to wash?

  • That ______ (family member who irritates you)
  • That ______ (colleague who undermines you)
  • That ______ (stranger who makes you uncomfortable)

🙏 Prayer of Humble Surrender

“Jesus, break me:

  • Of my comfort addiction that avoids messy service
  • Of my status consciousness that resists lowly tasks
  • Of my selective love that chooses who’s ‘worthy’

Today I commit to:

  1. One act of hidden service (no Instagram story!)
  2. One conversation listening more than speaking
  3. One prayer blessing that ‘difficult’ person

Kneel with me in spirit as I pray:
“Make my hands Your hands, my heart Your heart.”
Amen.


✨ Living the Towel & Basin Life

Modern Foot Washing Opportunities:

  • Text that estranged friend“No agenda – just wanted you to know I’m praying for you”
  • Buy groceries for the single parent at church (anonymously)
  • Take the humbler seat at the next meeting (literally and figuratively)

Shareable Truth:
“The world measures greatness by how many serve you – Jesus measures it by how many you serve.”
