The Gist of John 13:1-15
Jesus demonstrates humility and servanthood by washing the feet of his disciples during the Last Supper. Despite his divine status, Jesus takes on the role of a servant, teaching his followers the importance of humility and love. This act symbolizes the need for believers to serve others with a selfless and humble attitude.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
John 13:14-15
Jesus’s Example
In John 13:1-15, we find Jesus, the Son of God, taking on the role of a servant, washing the feet of his disciples during the Last Supper. It’s a powerful reminder that greatness lies not in being served, but in serving others with love and humility.
In our modern world, where social media often consumes a significant part of our lives, it’s essential to consider how we can use these platforms to embody the spirit of Jesus’ teachings. Social media isn’t just about likes, shares, and followers; it’s a powerful tool for serving others with love.
Use Social Media to Lift Others Up
Imagine your timeline as a canvas for acts of kindness, encouragement, and support. Instead of seeking recognition or validation, use your platform to lift others up. Share words of affirmation, post content that brings joy, and be a source of inspiration. Just as Jesus knelt to wash the feet of his disciples, let your online presence be a testament to humility and selfless service.
When you see a friend struggling, reach out privately with a kind message. Be the person who amplifies positivity and spreads compassion. In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, let your social media be a bridge to connect hearts.
Be Creators of Loving Content
As we navigate the digital landscape, may we remember Jesus’ example of sacrificial love and apply it to our online interactions. By serving others through our words and actions on social media, we contribute to creating a space where love and kindness abound.
Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to show them how much he loved them and how they should love one another. He calls us to do the same. Let us use social media as a tool for serving others with love, and let us follow Jesus’ example of humility and service.
True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.
