Washing Feet

Aug 14, 2022    Steve Dozeman

In one of the most poignant examples of humble service, Jesus displays radical hospitality to his own disciples. Jesus does the rather unthinkable as their respected rabbi—he stoops down and does the dirty, smelly job of a servant—washing feet. Jesus demonstrates that no task is below him and he calls his followers to embody the same perspective. Following after Jesus is not about being served, but about serving others. We are invited to create space where others are served as a demonstration of God’s love for them.
