Lord Jesus, how do I even begin to thank You for choosing to lay Your life down for me? I don’t know that I can ever truly understand or appreciate the type of love that would motivate this type of action. Lord as I consider Your Passion this Easter season; as I consider the pain of the cross, may it help me to understand the purpose of the cross and that it would cause me to draw closer to You and to love people more. Lord, thank You for loving me enough to die such a horrible death for and because of me. This I pray in Your precious name.

Amen


"The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life… 
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord…"
— (John 10:17a -18a )

Heavenly Father, In this season of Jesus’ greatest act of love help us to follow His example of humility and service. If we cannot wash the feet of others we can be of service to them in other ways. We can donate to a food pantry, give needed clothing, help an elderly neighbor, or extend a hand of comfort to someone in distress. Jesus is our role model. Father, guide us into places where we can be a humble servant to others. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus.
Amen

"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you… 
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them."
- John 13:14-15, 17

It is good, our loving Father, for us to be here! We praise and worship you for giving us the light of another day in which to imitate Your Son, Jesus, who gives Himself through us, to all in need. Fill us with the light of Your glory now and in the days ahead because through You we can do all things.
Amen.

"For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ESV."
