In one of the most intimate moments of Jesus’ life, we witness the final supper before His betrayal. The Lord of glory rises, lays aside His garments, and kneels to wash the feet of His disciples—a task reserved for the lowest servant, yet chosen by the King of kings. In that quiet, dimly lit room, love is revealed through humility. Every drop of water and gentle touch becomes a silent sermon, a vivid picture of grace, cleansing, and servant-hearted love.

Among the twelve sat Judas, the one destined to betray Him. Jesus knew his heart, yet still knelt, still washed his feet, offering mercy and a final call to repentance. Even the “guest of dishonor” received the touch of love before walking into darkness. This is the depth of divine love: it stoops to serve the unworthy, reaches even for those who reject it, and extends beyond what we can imagine.

This passage calls us to embrace humble service, to love and forgive as Christ has loved us. It challenges us to reflect on our own hearts—are we responding to grace, or turning away like Judas while mercy is still offered? How might we let Jesus cleanse and restore our hearts today, shaping the way we serve and love others?
