John 13
In case you were stuck or couldn't remember the assembly points, here they are:

1. What does 'consideration always' actually mean if we take it seriously?
- according to Jesus in John 13, it means serving others humbly and not taking an arrogant, snobbish position.

2. What do you think this means in terms of how you relate to others at school? How far would you go to do it?
- I think it doesn't stop with just friends, it goes further to people who (like Judas to Jesus) might even be horrible to you.
- it also doesn't stop at the school gate... it hopefully means being a humble servant to people who normally you might look down on.

3. There is a promise from Jesus: 'you will blessed if you do these things'.

4. How does one live up to this? How did Jesus?
The clue I mentioned is in verse 3 of John chapter 13. Here is a link to the actual text in case you were interested in trying to work it out for yourself. Come and chat if it seems complicated.
