Our Bible text for today is Galatians 5:13:
“Serve one another humbly in love.”
Jesus never wrote a book. He never built a home or held a seat in government. But He did something far more lasting—He washed feet.
On the night before the cross, when fear could have ruled and power could have been displayed, Jesus knelt. In a room full of weary men with dusty feet, no one moved—except Him. He picked up a towel, not to prove a point, but to show a heart. He served, not for applause, but because love stoops low.
Paul captures this heart in Galatians when he writes, “Serve one another humbly in love.” Notice that word—humbly. Service without humility is just performance. But humble service? That’s the touch of heaven in an ordinary moment.
The world pushes us to rise, to climb, to be noticed. But Jesus knelt. He reached not for a crown, but for a basin and towel. True service isn’t about making headlines—it’s about making a difference in someone’s day.
Right now, someone near you needs what you can give: a kind word, a quiet presence, a simple act of care. Maybe it’s fixing a meal or folding someone else’s laundry. Maybe it’s sitting with a hurting friend, saying nothing at all. These aren’t small things in God’s eyes. They’re sacred.
Want to walk in Jesus’ steps? Pick up a towel. Bend low. Serve quietly. Love deeply.
The hands that washed feet are still at work today—through your hands.
