A
new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35

YOU
CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE |

Just as Jesus made a difference, you
can make a difference in your life, family, school,
church, community, and world! The world needs
you -- your ideas, your compassion, and your spiritual
outlook. And, it's never too late to start giving.
The best gifts are those from the heart.
The Passion Week was an emotionally charged week
of conflict, humility, teaching, prayer, healing,
and fulfillment of prophecy. It ended in the final
triumph - the resurrection.
Ways Jesus made a difference with humility:
During the feast of the Passover (the night Jesus
was betrayed), Jesus washed his disciples' feet. It
made many of them, particularly Peter, uncomfortable
because washing someone's feet was a servant's job,
not the job of a revered and respected teacher and
leader. Yet, in washing their feet, Jesus taught his
disciples a lesson: that with humility we are to serve
others. John 13:1-17
Ways you can serve others with humility:
They may seem trivial compared to the Master's example,
but every little step makes a difference in someone's
life.
- Help someone in need, even if it means washing
feet, dishes, clothes, etc.
- Join or start a school club that provides community
service. Help beautify the campus by planting trees,
picking up garbage after lunch (there's much more
than you think out there!!!), or doing something
that your campus community needs.
- Start an Easter food drive. Easter is about the
resurrection - "He is risen!" What better
opportunity to uplift the lives of those in need!
Usually food drives are done at Thanksgiving and
Christmas. But there are people who need food throughout
the year. You can donate food to a local charity
organization or shelter.
- "Resurrect" - that is, uplift! - the
thoughts and actions of those around you: refuse
to take offense or be brought "down" by
someone's comments or attitude. Instead, lift up
the general atmosphere by loving your neighbor!

John
13:1-17
Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew
that his hour was come that he should depart out of
this world unto the Father, having loved his own which
were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper
being ended, the devil having now put into the heart
of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Jesus
knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments;
and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he
poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith
unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered
and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou
shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash
thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith
unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands
and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth
not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit:
and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should
betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them,
Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and
Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your
Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought
to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an
example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than
his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that
sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye
do them.
