Christ’s humility is constantly shown this week. We see Him on the cross, the highest level of humility and the day before, we see Christ’s humility in washing His disciples’ feet, a role that is normally done by servants or gentile slaves. Humility is the key.
Fr David then takes us through Christ’s encounter with the guards in the garden - where they fall when they hear Christ say “I Am”. He was willing to still be arrested and crucified instead of using His power. Christ is willing to be a slave for us. He has the power to change all things, but He chose to die for us.
