It was the most powerful of sittings. The night before the crucifixion. The upper room. The seder meal that Jesus transforms into the memorial meal, the Lord's Supper. The disciples around the table. Astonishing...the Lord of God takes a bowl and towel and goes around the table as a servant washing the feet of the disciples. And then a lesson. "If I am your Lord and Master and I wash your feet, then you ought to wash one another's feet."
Have you washed anyone's feet lately. Washed with forgiveness someone who humanly speaking didn't deserve it? Washed with grace someone who has been ungracious to you? Washed with love someone who is unloving or unlovely? Washed with the Gospel someone who's life is so stained with sin?
