Most of us are familiar with the story of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. This was an example of service and love that Jesus wanted to make perfectly clear to His disciples and to us. The act of washing the disciple's feet was made even more powerful by the fact that Jesus would soon begin the final stage of His mission by willingly going to the cross as a sacrifice for us, covering our sins with His own blood. We can all understand that the act of washing other people’s feet is an act of service and humility, but over the many years since Jesus washed the disciple’s feet we have lost some of the context of this event and the way in which it affected Jesus, the disciples and other people of that time.
Let’s take a few minutes here today to emphasize what Jesus wants us to learn from his actions and to understand how foot washing was viewed by the people of that day.
