We see humility, sacrifice and unconditional love in the suffering Jesus endured for our redemption. Pray that the Spirit will make us humble, loving servants willing to sacrifice convenience, reward and emotional comfort for the sake of sharing the gospel and caring for our neighbors in need.

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us ELW #358

1 Great God, your love has called us here

as we, by love, for love were made.

Your living likeness still we bear,

though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.

We come, with all our heart and mind

your call to hear, your love to find.

4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,

and humble us, and call us friends.

Suffer and serve till all are fed,

and show how grandly love intends

to work till all creation sings,

to fill all worlds, to crown all things.

5 Great God, in Christ you set us free

your life to live, your joy to share.

Give us your Spirit’s liberty

to turn from guilt and dull despair,

and offer all that faith can do

while love is making all things new.
