Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” (John 13:8 ESV) Would you get on your knees to wash the dirty, dirty feet of somebody who didn’t deserve it? I mean, would you really get on your knees to wash the feet of somebody who didn’t deserve what was coming to them because you were going to take the fall for that person and pay for it with your life? Honestly, would you be able to do what Jesus did? The answer probably is “no.” At the same time, we are incredibly blessed because God did that for us already. We just need to accept it and grow into it. When we think upon the incredible sacrifice of God, we have no other choice but to posture ourselves into the same type of unflinching humility. I mean, just think about the possibilities and repercussions of this type of action in our lives. How many bad relationships would be reconciled? How many people would come to peace? How many people would be saved because they saw you follow Jesus? Read John 13:1-20 and understand what this all means.
