(John 13:14 NKJV) “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”
Jesus was the son of God. He was God in the flesh, here on earth. He was and is above all men.
And yet, in spite of this, He washed the feet of the disciples. He humbled himself, poured water over their feet and washed them.
How many of us would do this same thing? How many of us would humble ourselves, kneel on the floor, or on the ground, and wash the feet of someone… maybe even someone we don’t know very well?
Humility is a hard thing for some of us. Being humble enough to wash someone’s feet is even harder. But there is something strongly symbolic about the washing of another person’s feet.
Most of us like to think of ourselves as being humble. We never want to think we’re proud. But if God prompted us to wash the feet of someone would we do it? Would we be able to get down on the floor and wash the feet of another person?
This is a great test for all of us. Consider it and ask God to show you your heart.
