John 13:1-11 (March 7th)

Read John 13:1-11.
How do we know Jesus loves us?
It would’ve been understandable if Jesus was preoccupied with his impending death on the cross, resurrection and return to the Father, but he loves his own to the last (v1). The fact that he knew one would betray him, and the rest would abandon him, didn’t stop him from serving his disciples (v2). The fact that he knew he had all authority didn’t stop him from humbling himself for them (v3-4). His washing his disciples feet is a picture of our need for him to wash us by dying for us (v5-8). If Jesus loved his own on that night, even to the cross, we can be sure he loves us now.

Family Bible Time

Do: find the smelliest shoe in your house

Read John 13:5-8 or watch:

Think: why does Peter think Jesus shouldn’t wash his feet?
Why does Jesus have to wash us?

Pray: that Jesus would wash our hearts clean

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
