John 13:14-15 … To wash their Feet (10/08/16)
“So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example; that you also Do for others just as I have Done for You.” ~ Jesus (John 13:14-15)
This is one of the few biblical sayings from Jesus that he pretty clearly meant to relay literally as well as symbolically, meaning that not only are we to humble ourselves before others and see them as though they were royalty (&/or themselves Divine), but also that we are to literally wash the feet of the others in our lives.
And this makes total sense, for Jesus’ ministry was all about humbling ourselves first & foremost, and then fully opening ourselves to the others in our lives with acts of courageous intimacy … Washing another’s feet powerfully satisfies both.
