Jesus Washes Their Feet — a 5-minute devotion for Lira families
John 13:1-17 · Leadership that kneels
On his last night, Jesus took off his outer robe, wrapped a towel round his waist and did the job of the lowest servant in the house — including for the man about to betray him.
Parents in Lira often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read John 13:1-17 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "leadership that kneels" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.”John 13:14
Table question
What is the least glamorous job in our home, and who could do it tomorrow without being asked?
30-second prayer
Jesus, you knelt. Make us the kind of family that serves without being asked. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Lira — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Leadership that kneels only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: the new command (John 13:31-35). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
