High Voltage Elementary: Average Pete
Lesson 6: The Foot Washer
When Jesus began to wash the disciples’ feet, Peter was not happy. He felt that Jesus was way too important to take on a job like that. After all, Jesus was the King of Kings. He shouldn’t be serving others. They should be serving Him. Jesus didn’t see it that way. In fact, He told Peter that He didn’t come to be served, but to serve others. He gave Peter an important lesson in leadership. “If you want to be a leader, you’re going to have to serve.” In this lesson, the children will learn how to put “others first—me last!” It is one of the toughest lessons for any child to learn!
