"He tied a towel around his waist, poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet," John 13:5.
Who did? Jesus did. Yeah. He had taken off his fancier clothes and with the towel around his waist looked like a regular house-slave. That's who got the job of washing guests' feet when they came visiting. Washing dirt off grimy feet that had been in the streets all day. Yeah. And then he dried their clean feet with the towel. Why does he do this? because that's the way he is. The way he is. He is the way he is.
When we visit with a brother or sister today we wash each others' feet. And we thank God for having cleansed our whole selves, from the inside out, made holy by Christ's sacrifice.
