So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them.
John 13:14-16
Jesus washes the feet of His disciples. We all want to wash one another's feet, right? Well Atrium II didn’t either! We got "ew gross" and "that’s a dirty job", and "that would be awkward to let someone wash your feet." Sure it is! But after reading this selection over and over again… Atrium II really nailed it. It was as easy as 1, 2, and 3.
1. Treat others with respect.
2. Treat others like you would want to be treated.
3. When someone does something for you, you can remember it and do something nice for them or for someone else.
All three sound pretty similar right? They should when our Savior told story after story with this same message, that we treat others as we would want to be treated. Our Lord made an example out of an everyday simple task. He humbled himself and washed His disciple's feet. It is a simple task and yet hard at the same time. It is hard to treat others as we want to be treated. It is hard to help our neighbors. It is hard to serve and be messengers of Christ. Your St. James' children make the task at hand sound so simple, but we wonder... are you up to the task and are you willing to serve?
Atrium II Age 6-9
