When Jesus grew up to be a man, He was ready to begin His important work of telling others the good news of God’s love. But He knew that He would someday return to His home in heaven, so Jesus needed to find some people who would be able to continue His work when He was gone. Jesus picked twelve men to be His helpers. People who follow Jesus are called disciples.

Chorus
Jesus is calling, He’s calling, He’s calling.
Jesus is calling, yes, He’s calling you.

Little things are very important to God. Do you sometimes feel little and not very important? Well, you are important to God. There are lots of wonderful stories in the Bible about how God can use little things to do great things.

• Moses’ brother Aaron was just a slave of the Egyptian king. But God used Aaron’s wooden walking stick to do many miracles to make the king let the slaves go free.
• When King David was a boy, God helped him use his little sling and one small stone to slay an evil giant and to save his country.
• One day a very poor woman gave the only money she had, a couple of very small coins, to help other poor people. Jesus saw her give it, and now this widow’s story is written in the Bible for the whole world to read.
• Another time when Jesus had finished talking to a big crowd of people, it was time to eat, but there was no food where they were. A small boy had brought a few loaves of bread and fish. It wasn’t much, but he gave them to Jesus, and by a miracle, they became enough to feed everyone with lots left over.

So if you are just little or only have a little, be happy. That’s all that God needs in order to do something wonderful.

Another brave man in the Bible was Shamgar. Enemy soldiers were everywhere in his country. All of the roads were closed, and the villages were empty. The people had gone up into the mountains to hide. With the Lord’s help, Shamgar fought against six hundred enemy soldiers with only a long stick, called an ox goad, and he won. He helped make his country safe to live in again.¹ Many stories in the Bible talk about people who didn’t have much, but who did great things with God’s help. Here is a song about it.

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.”
