This is a blog that I have created for my 5 grandchildren. I have a daily Scripture verse or two along with comments and questions. Hope this encourages young people to read in their Bible every day and to meditate on God's Word.

Read John 13:14 Just before Jesus was crucified, he had one last meal with His disciples. That meal was called the last supper. During the meal, he had the first communion with his followers. He gave the disciples bread, which represented His body and wine, or grape juice, which represented His blood. These two things were symbols that represented His sacrifice for you and for me on the cross of Calvary. Then Jesus showed His disciples that they should all serve one another. There are no important people in our churches who deserve more than anyone else; we are all the same; we are all equal before God. Jesus took a basin of water and a towel and washed the feet of each of His disciples. That job was usually left to the lowest servant in someone's house. Jesus himself washed the disciples' feet in order to show them that they were equal with Him. We should not boss each other around; we should love one another and help one another just like Jesus showed us to do in this verse. Think of something nice that you could do for your brother or sister to show them that you love them. What is something that you could do for your mother or father to show them that you care about them?
