The Sacrificial Love of the Church

Series: The Light in the Darkness

Category: The Church

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at Jesus' command to His followers to reflect the light of His love toward one another. In John 13, Jesus reveals the depth of His love for His church by humbling Himself to wash His disciples’ feet then commands them to do the same for one another as an expression of their love. In this act of sacrificial love, we see a glimpse of the humility our Savior displayed when He died a criminal’s death on the cross and washed away our sins. It is by our sacrificial love toward one another that the world will know that we belong to Jesus. Before we can be a shining light of hope to the world around us, we must first humble ourselves before one another in sacrificial love.
