God Serves You, Before You Serve Him

Derek Mack • October 14, 2024

Derek Mack breaks down John 13, highlighting God’s overwhelming love for us—so big that it’s beyond our ability to fully comprehend. He explains the significance of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, noting that it was considered the lowest job in society at the time. As he describes the context of this event, he shows how this is a foreshadowing of the Cross. Derek boldly states, “you don’t serve God, God serves you,” and supports this by showing how Jesus’ love on the cross is an act of service to us, and that He has always been working for our well-being. He challenges the listener by stating that this love should inspire us to love the world in radical ways, just as Jesus asks in John 13. Derek finishes by preaching the gospel and inviting people to enter a relationship with God, encouraging them to experience His powerful love.
