Loyalty in Loss, Love Until the End
What to notice today
As Saul's kingdom collapses and David rises in 1 Chronicles 10–12, we see loyalty tested through political upheaval and shifting allegiances. In John 13–16, Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure by washing their feet and commanding them to love one another as He has loved them, establishing a new covenant built on sacrificial love rather than earthly power. Both narratives reveal that true greatness is measured not by military might or status, but by humble service and unwavering devotion to God's purposes.
