The love of Jesus was rather unspectacular. He washes His disciples feet. He serves them in a way only ascribed to someone of the lowest social order. Then He compares His crucifixion to the washing of the disciples feet. But maybe He does this not to define the crucifixion as unspectacular, but to get us to reimagine what we define as spectacular in the first place. Maybe love in its truest, most divine, most purest form, is love that serves in the unspectacular, thankless and unpleasant ways. And maybe, just maybe, that is the kind of love that changes the world.
