Who Is Good King Wenceslas?
The Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas tells the story of a king who braved bitter winter weather to help a man in need. Wenceslas could have stayed warm in his palace, but instead he stepped out with compassion and chose to serve someone who was struggling. His kindness has echoed through the centuries and is still celebrated in this beloved carol.
Wenceslas' actions point us to an even greater example. Jesus showed us what it means to serve others when He washed His disciples' feet—a task usually done by servants. Through this humble act, He taught us that true leadership comes through love, humility, and service.
A heart that serves is a heart that looks like Jesus.
