In John 13:1–17, Jesus redefines greatness through a radical act of humility—washing His disciples’ feet, even those of the one who would betray Him. His love did not retreat in the face of betrayal or suffering but moved toward others in humble service. This passage calls every believer, not just ministry leaders, to a life of love in action. Jesus shows us that true servanthood is not about abundance, but about availability, not about titles, but about towels. The call to serve flows from surrender to Christ, where our identity in Him fuels acts of compassion, humility, and obedience.
