Step into the Upper Room on Maundy Thursday, where Jesus kneels before His disciples and washes their feet—just hours before the cross. This isn’t just a Bible story—it’s a moment that redefines power, humility, and love. In this rich, narrative-driven Bible study, we walk through the foot washing in John 13, exploring what it means that Jesus serves first, loves first, and gives Himself before anyone understands what’s happening.
What does it mean to “take off your sandals” in the presence of grace? Why does Peter resist? And what does it reveal about us that we’d rather argue theology than receive mercy?
This episode blends deep Scripture teaching with storytelling, theology, and real-life application—perfect for Maundy Thursday services, Holy Week reflection, small group Bible study, or personal devotion. Whether you’re revisiting a familiar passage or hearing it fresh for the first time, this study invites you to slow down, sit at the Table, and encounter Jesus in a way that might just change how you see Him.
📖 Topics include: Maundy Thursday meaning, foot washing in the Bible, John 13 explained, Last Supper teaching, humility in Christianity, servant leadership of Jesus, Holy Week devotionals, Upper Room study, Gospel of John deep dive
