REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
In John 13:2-15, Jesus washes his disciples' feet despite Peter's initial resistance. Why was this act so significant, and what might it teach us about true humility in leadership?
When have you struggled to accept help or service from someone in authority, and what did that experience teach you about humility?
Can you think of a time when a friend was genuinely vulnerable with you? How did that impact your relationship with them?
What makes it hard for you personally to receive acts of kindness from others without trying to minimize them?
How does the concept of “costly love” differ from casual acts of kindness, and why is this distinction important for us to remember?
The ultimate goal of any act of love is to deepen trust in the relationship. What relationships in your life might benefit from deeper trust? How can you “push through the awkwardness” this week and show someone you really depend on them? How can you make yourself more receptive to someone you love’s sincerity this week?
How might getting better at both sharing and receiving acts of love or kindness help you grow as a Christian?
How can this help you grow as a neighbor, a coworker, a volunteer, or a citizen?
