Unlocking the Power of Servanthood
A Call to Action
Jesus’ words in John 13:17, “You know these things – now do them! That is the path of blessing,” are just as relevant to us today as they were to His disciples. It’s time to put our faith into practice and discover the transformative power of servanthood.
The Lesson of Foot Washing
We’re reminded of the poignant moment when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, demonstrating the humility and selflessness He desired to see in them. This act of service is a powerful lesson for us, too. As we focus on serving others, empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, we begin to grasp the true purpose of our existence.
Finding Purpose in Serving Others
When we prioritize serving others in Christ’s name, our own problems seem to fade into the background. Loneliness and depression, in particular, find their quickest cure in the act of helping others. By shifting our attention to those around us, we often find that our own troubles are resolved in the process.
The Simple Path to Blessing
It’s remarkable how straightforward it is to live a life of blessing. By reading and studying God’s Word, we can discover exactly what He commands us to do. Then, it’s simply a matter of obeying those commands and becoming doers of the Word.
Today’s Challenge
Will you join the ranks of those who not only admire Jesus’ example but also seek to obey His commands? Make a conscious decision to put your faith into action today.
Reflection and Study
Take a closer look at John 13:12-16 and reflect on how you can apply these principles in your daily life.
