Happy Holy Week!

In the days leading up to Easter, I love reading and remembering the events that led to the joy of Resurrection Sunday. In many Christian traditions, this passage from the gospel of John is read on the Thursday before Easter:

"Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him." John 13:1-5 NRSV

Jesus knew that the end was upon him. Later that night, his anxiety would cause him to sweat blood. The next day he would be brutally whipped, beaten, and mocked. Then, Jesus would die a shameful death on the cross and pay the spiritual price for the sins of the world.

If I knew THAT was coming, I would want nothing more than a nice, relaxing evening. But instead of kicking back with his friends, Jesus gets up from supper, takes off his outer robe, and puts on a servant's robe. He gets down on his knees and washes his disciples' feet. In this last night together, Jesus models a powerful act of humble sacrificial love.

Then he gave the disciples this command:

"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." John 13:34 NRSV

The same patient, humble self-giving love that Jesus showed his friends is the same love that we are called to show others. If the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is willing to wash the feet of his friends, how much more can we humble ourselves and serve those around us?

I can't wait to celebrate with you this Sunday either at 8:00, 9:30 or 11:00 service!

But as we prepare for the celebration, let's not forget to give and serve like Jesus. Let's be people who are willing to do a thankless job. Let's give in such a way that it costs us something. Let's look for ways to love others the way that Jesus loved us!

See you soon,

God makes all things new. In Jesus we are given a fresh start and a new beginning. Through His death on the cross, He offers us new life—restored, redeemed and full of hope. One day He will renew all of creation, making everything whole again. Only Jesus has the power to make all things new. Only He can save us.

At Crosspoint Students, we’ve created a high-energy, student-focused experience just for 6th–12th graders to connect with Christ in a real and meaningful way. Each week features authentic worship, fun games, and a relevant message designed to speak to students right where they are. After the main service, students break out into Small Groups—gender-specific and led by trusted leaders—where they can build friendships, ask questions, and grow in their faith.

Join us for the best night of the week—you won’t want to miss it! For more information about Crosspoint Students programming and events, contact our Associate Campus Minister, Scott Morgan.
