The God Who Stooped

When Jesus removed his robe, bent down and washed his disciples’ feet (John 13), He provided a powerful, dramatic picture of His Incarnation (when He laid aside His majesty and came down to earth to rescue mankind) and of His imminent Crucifixion (as He gave up His life to cleanse us from sin). As king David wrote centuries earlier, “You have stooped to make me great” (Ps 18:35) – and in this devotional message we stand in awe of the work of Christ and consider some of the ways we can respond.
