Thursday | John 13 & 14 | Dirty Feet

Welcome back to Holy Week with Through the Word. Each day, your instructions are simple:

Step 1: Hear it. Press play to listen to today's audio guide.

Step 2: Read it. Read (or listen to) today’s passage.

Step 3: Live it. Think about what you read and apply it to your life today. If you’re following this plan with friends, share your insights and questions, and encourage one another to live out what you’ve learned.

For Thought & Discussion:

Question 1: In verses 3-4, John reminds us that Jesus knew that all things were under his power — just as he got up from the table to wash feet. Why is it important that those two facts go together?

Question 2: Foot-washing is not common practice in modern culture (largely due to the glorious advent of socks). As a result, trying to wash your friend’s feet is more awkward than helpful. What are more practical ways to show love by serving today?

Question 3: In verse 34, Jesus calls out a new command, but “love your neighbor as yourself” was an old command. How is this one new, and why is it so important?
