He Made Himself Nothing | Charis Israelson

What kind of king strips off his royal garments to wash the dirty feet of his servants? Our King did.

On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus wrapped a towel around his waist and knelt before his disciples—including the one who would betray him. This wasn't just an act of hospitality. It was the gospel made visible. The Creator of the universe taking the position of the lowest slave, cleansing those who could never earn such love.

Jesus asks us the same question he asked the disciples: "Do you understand what I have done for you?" He didn't just save us for eternity—he saved us to live differently now. To abide in his love. To serve others as he has served us. To bring good news to a world that desperately needs it.

The gospel transforms everything. Have you allowed Jesus to wash your feet?

And how will you respond to such radical love?
