REFLECT TOGETHER

FOR ADULTS 1. How does understanding the Passover background deepen your view of what Jesus meant when He said, “This is my body…this is my blood”? 2. What does Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, especially Judas and Peter, reveal about the nature of His love? 3. In what ways are you tempted to approach your faith as something to observe rather than something to personally trust and receive? 4. Where is God calling you to practice humble, sacrificial love this week, even when it is difficult or unnoticed?

FOR STUDENTS 1. Why do you think Jesus chose a meal to explain what He was about to do on the cross? 2. What stands out to you about Jesus washing the disciples’ feet? Why would that have been shocking? 3. What’s the difference between knowing about Jesus’ sacrifice and actually trusting Him with your life? 4. What is one practical way you can show Jesus-like love to someone this week, even if it costs you something?

FOR CHILDREN 1. What did Jesus say the bread and the cup represent at the meal? 2. Why did Jesus wash His disciples’ feet? What does that teach us about Him? 3. How does Jesus show us what it means to love others? 4. What is one way you can be kind and serve someone in your family or at school this week?
