Religion & Spirituality
Jesus has given us a beautiful and intimate expression of what servant-hearted leadership actually looks like. It looks like stopping and stooping; it looks like humility. In full awareness of his authority and his identity as God’s son (v.3), his response was not to wield that power for his own good or to flaunt it, his response was to wash his friends’ dirty, dusty feet. If Jesus’ call to his disciples is to follow his example, then the call is the same to us as well. How are we living into that call in our own contexts, in this church, in our communities? What is the ‘feet-washing’ equivalent that we find ourselves faced with?
