Service: The Order of the Towel
It wasn’t heroic. It wasn’t glorious. It was just dirty feet and a towel. But when Jesus knelt down, he showed us the full extent of his love. Not with a crown, but with service. Not from a throne, but from the floor. He met a need no one else wanted to meet. And he told us: now you go and do the same.
Nobody Is Above Serving Others
Jesus didn’t come to be served but to serve — and he calls us to do the same. No title, platform or gifting exempts anyone from the call to serve.
Our Identity and the Freedom to Serve
I will not tire of this—my fascination with people and my desire to understand what it means for them to feel alive, curious, and filled with wonder. People who live fully awake to the weight of their selves are irresistible. There is nothing more attractive, alluring, and captivating.
Can you think of someone in your life who feels the weight of their identity? They know who they are because they’ve let themselves feel it. They are not ashamed. They make no excuses about their personality–feeling neither insufficient nor too much. They know they are loved like they are, so shame has no hold on them.
