Washing the Disciples Feet
At supper, while washing the disciples’ feet, Jesus told Peter that if he did not allow him to wash him then Peter would have no part in Christ. Upon completion of the task Jesus proclaimed that he had left an example to follow: an example of love, humility and service. Then in the next three chapters Jesus goes on to explain what love really is and what it means to be a disciple of Christ.
Washing the feet was one of many of Jesus demonstrations of love.
We have often talked about how love means sacrifice! Love also means keeping the commandments of the Lord. Love is the means by which we show others the way to Jesus. While we hear a lot about love in the greater religious world we seldom see true love in action. It is so very important that we show our love today by giving ourselves to the Lord fully in obedience and faithfulness. Let us show our love today by doing some good deed for a brother in Christ. May we show our love today by sharing the message of the greatest love ever know; share the good news with someone today! And be faithful. [
