Serving - and Being Served

Today’s Reflection

Jesus’ act of washing the disciples’ feet exemplifies Jesus as both Lord and servant. Both are central to his identity, and as Jesus’ followers, one way we follow Jesus is as servants to all.

—Stephanie B. Dunn, Draw Close: A Creative Companion for Lent (Upper Room Books, 2025)

Today’s Question

How are you being served? How are you being called to serve?

[Jesus] got up from supper, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him.—John 13:4–5 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

God, as I walk the road of suffering, death, and resurrection with you again this year, allow me to see it in a new light. Amen.
