This sermon reflects on Jesus’ act of washing His disciples’ feet in John 13 as the ultimate picture of humility and love. Though He already had all authority and power from the Father, Jesus lowered Himself to the posture of a slave, even serving those who would betray, deny, and abandon Him. In doing so, He revealed that true discipleship means embracing humility, serving others without discrimination, and resisting the pride that refuses grace. The sermon warns against being drawn into a culture of outrage fueled by “conflict entrepreneurs” and reminds us that our true enemy is not people but spiritual forces of darkness. Just as Jesus loved His disciples “to the fullest extent,” Christians are called to resist division, love one another deeply, and humbly serve in ways that point the world to Christ rather than to ourselves. Ultimately, discipleship comes at the cost of humility, but in lowering ourselves we lift up Jesus, who alone brings hope and salvation.
