While Jesus was enjoying His last meal with His disciples, He did something extraordinary. He got down on the floor. He tied a rope around his waist and secured a towel to it. Then, He proceeded to do a servant's job.
You see, back in Jesus' day, people walked around in sandals. They didn't exactly have paved roads and sidewalks... it was just all dirt. So, as you could probably imagine, their nearly bare feet got pretty dirty after a full day of walking. As guests would enter a home, servants would wash their feet for probably a variety of reasons, but we read about it here as a gesture of servitude and status.
What if you had been there?
What would it have been like if Jesus himself bent down and began to wash YOUR feet?
Maybe He is... even today.
How has He been washing your feet?
How have you received it?
