On Sunday, we reflected on the powerful moment in John 13 when Jesus—fully aware of His divine authority—chose to humble Himself and wash His disciples’ feet. This radical act wasn’t just about cleanliness; it was a picture of surrender, repentance, and transformation. Jesus told Peter, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me,” reminding us that we can’t clean ourselves—we need His grace. Following Jesus means letting Him do that deep work in us. When we embrace humility, turn back to God in repentance, and allow Him to reshape our hearts, we begin to experience the joy of walking in freedom—with clean feet and a renewed spirit.

Even when faced with signs, teachings, and miracles, many still resisted Jesus—but He continues to call people into the light. He came not to condemn, but to save, and those who trust in Him become living proof of that salvation. A changed life, shaped by love, humility, and bold faith, is the most compelling evidence of the Gospel’s power. When we walk in the light, love others deeply, and let Jesus shape our lives, the world sees something real and transformative. You are the proof that the Gospel works.

What defines a family? Scripture shows us that God's family is where we find our true identity, where love is shared around the table, and where sacrificial giving grows the Kingdom. In God's family, we are no longer strangers — we belong.

This week, we have a special opportunity to live that out. If you missed giving during our One Day to Feed the World service, there's still time! Your offering will help bring hope and practical care to people in need through Convoy of Hope.

Why did Jesus willingly go to the cross? John 12 reveals the answer: He knew the pain ahead—and still chose it. Not out of obligation, but out of love. Jesus saw beyond the suffering to the joy on the other side: the restoration of our relationship with God. His death wasn’t forced—it was a willing sacrifice, the only one that could truly save us. The cross wasn’t the end, but the beginning of new life, a “plentiful harvest” of grace for all who believe. His victory over death means our forgiveness, our freedom, and our future with Him.

Reflect on the powerful moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, fulfilling ancient promises and demonstrating His identity as King. As crowds welcomed Him with palm branches, declaring "Hosanna!" they recognized the Savior in their midst. Today, our faith is strengthened when we look back, remember God's faithfulness, and share these stories with others. Let's invite people to discover Jesus for themselves and experience the hope, victory, and everlasting love found only in Him.

As Jesus approached the cross, Mary poured out expensive perfume in a bold act of worship—honoring Him while others plotted His arrest. Her response reminds us that worship is our right response to who Jesus is, realigns our priorities, recenters our souls, and corrects our perspective. In a world full of noise and distraction, true worship helps us see clearly: Jesus is worthy.
