John 13:14-15 … To wash their Feet<br />
(10/08/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought <strong>to</strong><br />
wash one another‟s feet. For I have set you an example; that you also Do for<br />
others just as I have Done for You.” ~ Jesus (John 13:14-15)<br />
This is one of the few biblical sayings from Jesus that he pretty clearly meant<br />
<strong>to</strong> relay literally as well as symbolically, meaning that not only are we <strong>to</strong> humble<br />
ourselves before others and see them as though they were royalty (&/or themselves<br />
Divine), but also that we are <strong>to</strong> literally wash the feet of the others in our lives.<br />
And this makes <strong>to</strong>tal sense, for Jesus‟ ministry was all about humbling<br />
ourselves first & foremost, and then fully opening ourselves <strong>to</strong> the others in our<br />
lives with acts of courageous intimacy … Washing another‟s feet powerfully<br />
satisfies both of these admonitions.<br />
