Holy Week Wednesday 2024

As Jesus and the disciples prepared for their Passover dinner, Jesus stepped into a role that not only did he not often have, but certainly has never deserved. 

When a traveler came to your home after walking many miles, the host would have  a servant wash the traveler’s feet.  After many miles of walking with nothing but sandals, feet would be dirty, dry, stinky and obviously washing their feet wouldn’t be a job anyone would be excited to have. 

Jesus knew firsthand what it felt like to be on the road for many hours and sometimes many days, and He stepped into the role of servant to wash the feet of His disciples. 

Why do you think He chose to humble Himself in this way?

How can we follow His example and humble ourselves to become a servant so others can see Jesus in us?

  July 20 –Genesis 47:13-22 Click on link to listen to content of this post: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/M2klJcYOABb Father God, help me be a person who shows concern for others to a point where I am uncomfortable. So often we are willing to help others, but not if it puts us out or causes us work. Help me love unconditionally and act on that love. Joseph spent most of his life with Egyptians, but certainly not in comfort until the last years regarding the famine, but yet he grew to love them to a degree he worked to make their lives better. I pray Father that You help me to love like that. Help me remember to act on the love for others and be Jesus to those around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen! I find this so interesting. Joseph, not an Egyptian, sold into slavery, and imprisoned in Egypt for years because of an Egyptian who lied about him. But here he acted out of great concern for the Egyptians, basically saving their lives. Jospeh looked out for the welfar...
