Lent 2014 day 37 by ric gustafson
John 13:14- ' If I your Lord and teacher have washed your feet, you too must wash each other's feet'.
How would you feel if the Lord of creation did something menial for you?. The disciples must have felt this way when Jesus washed their feet. The foot washing of guests was usually assigned to the lowest of servants.
Jesus washed the disciple's feet to show them how to serve others. Also, he was showing them how to be a hospitable host. Jesus wanted to welcome them into a relationship with God and as a guest in his home.
After he was done washing their feet, Jesus instructed them to be a servant to all people. To welcome all as guests into your spiritual homes.
Jesus, I pray that I can be a humble and gracious host for you.
