Today’s
Reading: Psalm 42:1-5
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful you are the true water of life
and when we drink of your Spirit,
springs of water flow from us
to you and to others.
Hallelujah!
Amen.

Jesus Washes His Disciples Feet
Jesus knew that the Father
had put all things under his power,
and that he had come from God
and was returning to God;
so he got up from the meal,
took off his outer clothing,
and wrapped a towel around his waist.
After that,
he poured water into a basin
and began to wash his disciples’ feet,
drying them with the towel
that was wrapped around him.
He came to Simon Peter,
who said to him,
“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus replied,
“You do not realize now what I am doing,
but later you will understand.”
“No,” said Peter,
“you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered,
“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied,
“not just my feet
but my hands and my head as well!”
Jesus answered,
“Those who have had a bath
need only to wash their feet;
their whole body is clean.
And you are clean,
though not every one of you.”
For he knew who was going to betray him,
and that was why he said not every one was clean.
(John 13:3-11).

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.
Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.
