How Do You Love Others?

“Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, are You washing my feet?’”

JOHN 13:3-6

Ponder This

Think of someone who has done you wrong or disappointed you. Perhaps it’s someone who has failed you. Perhaps it’s someone who has abused or misused you. Perhaps it’s someone who has betrayed you. The Bible tells us how to deal with that individual. We are to love as Jesus loved. We all need love—true love. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another” (John 13:34). You’re to love others as Jesus Christ loved you. It’s going to be extremely hard. It feels completely against our nature, but it is our call in Christ.

Do you know what most of us do? We fight for our reputations. We talk about how we went from nothing to something. The Lord Jesus didn’t talk about how He had gone from lowliness to highness. As a matter of fact, our Lord had come from highness to lowliness. Jesus, knowing the Father had put everything into His hands, laid aside His garments, took a towel, and washed fishermen’s feet. He served selflessly and humbly.

That is true love. Pride drives wedges; humility always builds bridges of love. If you are going to love as Jesus loves, your love will be selfless.

• Who in your life loves selflessly?
• Think about people who have wronged you. How do you treat them? How does that need to change in light of this passage?

Practice This

Talk to a mentor about how you treat those that have wronged you. Pray and consider how you can love others selflessly
