Practicing relational evangelism can seem like a daunting or intimidating prospect. However, when you look at it through a lens of blessing others in the name of Jesus, perhaps it feels a bit more manageable. BLESS is an acronym that outlines 5 practices that you can implement to help open opportunities for you to share the good news of Jesus with someone who does not yet know him. This Sunday, we will look at the first S of the “BLESS” acronym, which stands for “Serve with Love.” One of the most impactful acts of serving is recorded in John 13:1-17. In this passage, Jesus (the master) takes on the duties of a servant and washes his disciples’ feet. The Son of God, kneeling before men who would betray, doubt, and deny him in the hours to come. This is a fitting topic for us to consider as we also take time to celebrate the mothers in our lives — many of whom modeled well what it means to serve with love.
