—John 13:1-5, 12-17

Jesus’ loves us despite all the sinful nature within us. He loves us so much that He took on the form of man and died for us. In this passage, Jesus took on the job of a servant not only to reiterate what being fully man meant for Him, but also to teach a lesson in humility. Verse 16 conveys the lesson that Jesus was trying to teach: No one is better than anyone else—no matter their position, title, or stature. We, as followers of Christ, are all called honor God through humble servanthood (v.17). Are you willing to be a humble servant to others? In what ways can you serve?
