Today's Lenten Devotional - Saturday, March 14, 2026

 

Saturday – March 14

Scripture: John 13:12–15

After washing their feet, Jesus asks, “Do you understand what I have done?”

Foot washing unsettles hierarchy.  The Teacher kneels.  The Lord serves.

Discipleship mirrors this posture.

In a culture obsessed with status, kneeling feels counterintuitive.  Yet Christ’s authority is revealed in humility.

The Church must continually rediscover this.  Power in the kingdom does not elevate self; it lifts others.

Lent strips pretension.  It invites quiet service unseen by applause.

To kneel is not to diminish oneself.  It is to align with Christ.

Reflection Questions

  1. Where is God inviting me to kneel?
  2. What pride resists service?
  3. How does humility strengthen community?
