VBS 2014 Day 3

Today we learned that:
Even when you don't understand....Jesus loves you!

Bible Story:


One night, Jesus called his his friends, the disciples, together for a special dinner.  During the meal, Jesus quietly got up, got a basin of water and a towel, and started to wash his friends’ feet.  In those times, it was normal to wash your feet before dinner because the roads were dirty and dusty so everyone’s feet used to get very dirty.  However, normally a servant would do the washing.  The disciples did not understand why Jesus was doing the work of the lowliest of servants.

However, Jesus explained to his friends that he wanted them to serve others as he was serving them by washing their feet.  Jesus was being a servant!  He gave us the best example of how to serve others.  He was even wiling to do the dirty job of a servant.  By providing this example for his disciples, Jesus taught them the importance of helping others.  Even though the disciples didn’t understand at first, they soon realized the reason why Jesus was acting in this way.  In the same way, we must always remember that even when you don’t understand, Jesus loves you!
