My Wonder Studio

Based on John 13:4–17.

On the day before the Passover Festival, during His last days on earth, after sharing a meal with His disciples, Jesus rose from the table, took off His outer layer of clothing, and tied a towel around His waist. He then poured some water into a washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel from around His waist.

When it was Simon Peter’s turn to have his feet washed, he was very embarrassed and said to Jesus, “Lord, surely you aren’t going to wash my feet!” But Jesus told him it was very important for Him to do so.

When Jesus had finished, He told His disciples, “Since I, your Lord and teacher, have just washed your feet, then you should wash each other’s feet. I have set an example for you. Now that you know this truth, you will find happiness by serving one another with humility.”

Jesus went everywhere doing good and showing people how much God loves them. God knew that everyone in the world had done wrong things for which they would have to be punished. But God promised to forgive us if we would love and thank Jesus for His help. Jesus did a most wonderful thing for us: He gave His life for us. Three days later, He came back to life again to live forever. This is the wonderful good news that God tells us about in His book, the Bible, that if we ask Jesus to come and live in our hearts, we will belong to God’s big happy family and will someday get to go to God’s beautiful home called heaven.
