Right before the Last Supper – before He would be betrayed, beaten, and crucified – Jesus took the time to wash His disciples’ feet. Not because they were dirty, but rather he sought to teach them a lesson.
Later, He said, “I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.”
If Jesus took the time to serve his followers during one of the most difficulty episodes in His life, what could we do for those who are near and dear to us?
God bless,

“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father… [Jesus] rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded… So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.” ~ John 13:1-16
