THURSDAY: “Serving with a Towel”

Scripture: Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. (ESV, Jn 13:3–5).  

On the night He was betrayed, Jesus—knowing He held all authority—chose to stoop low and wash His disciples’ feet. The King became a servant. In that moment, He redefined greatness as humble, self-giving love. He didn’t just teach it—He lived it. And He calls us to do the same. At home, at work, in church—how can we follow His lead and serve like Jesus today?
