Jesus wants to be my friend forever. (3)

Memory Verse – “I have called you friends.” John 15:15

Jesus is a good friend.

Washing Feet • John 13:3-17

The 12 disciples were having dinner with Jesus. But their feet were dirty because they walked on dirt roads. So Jesus wanted to wash their dirty feet. Why? Because Jesus was their friend. But Peter refused. He said that Jesus was too special to wash their feet. However, Jesus said if they wanted to follow Him, they must let Him wash their feet. Jesus did this to teach them that they were to help others too and be their friends.
