Scripture:
John 13:1–17, 34–35
Devotional Thought:
Jesus shows His disciples what belonging looks like by kneeling to wash their feet. Belonging in God’s kingdom isn’t about status—it’s about love expressed through service. Jesus ties belonging directly to how His followers love one another.
This kind of love becomes visible to the world. “By this everyone will know…” Belonging isn’t meant to be hidden; it’s meant to be embodied. When we love as Christ loves, community becomes a witness.
As you end this week, remember: belonging in Christ doesn’t close us in—it sends us out in love.
Reflection:
• How have you experienced Christlike love from others?
• Where might God be inviting you to extend that same love?
Application:
Serve someone in a tangible way this weekend as an expression of Christ’s love.
