In John 13 we step into the final week of Christ’s earthly ministry—holy, heavy, and deeply personal. Knowing his hour has come, Jesus doesn’t spend these last moments protecting himself; he spends them loving “his own… unto the end,” even with betrayal already taking root in Judas’ heart. Then the unthinkable happens: the Master takes a towel and a basin and stoops to wash dirty feet—an acted sermon that exposes our pride, confronts our discomfort with his humiliation, and points us straight to the cleansing we can only receive through him. And when he’s done, he turns the basin toward us: in the body of Christ, no one is too high to serve and no one is too low to be served—because real ministry is never just a task; it’s a testimony of love.
