When the Lord Jesus willingly went to the cross for all of humanity, He was revealing the highest level of love and care in all of history. He had previously washed all of the disciples feet and then taught them to wash each other’s feet. This spoke of the importance of serving and caring for one another. 1 Corinthians 12:25 says: “that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another”. As we receive a clear revelation of the love of God, not just that He loves us, but that He also loves “through” us, we will realize that as we love each other, it’s as the Lord Himself is loving through us. Jesus said if we were to give even a cup of water to one of His “little ones,” it was as if we were serving it to Him. The world wants to know what can we do for them. But the higher call is how can the love of Christ be revealed through each of us today!
Phillipians 2:4 (ERV) “Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too”.
