Jesus washing the feet of the disciples was done to show them that those whom are leaders in the called-out Assembly are not to act as lords over their fellow believers, but to serve them with a foot-washing attitude, be willing to wash a fellow believers feet if that is what it takes to bring them closer to the lord Jesus Messiah.
We, in the lord Jesus are priests, unto his God and our God Yehovah, and we are to act as he did on this earth. Jesus always served those he came in contact with in an attitude of love, even when he spoke in judgment against what some religious leader were doing wrong it was always done in love and as a servant of his God and Father and in loving service to them also.
The greatest of all he said will be the one who acts with a servant attitude and always serves others the way he did toward others. What a beautiful example we have in Jesus and how thankful we should be that what has been written in the N.T. is for us to live by and follow as the sons of God, children of Abraham believing all that God has revealed to us as he did! May we all take upon ourselves the servant attitude of mind that Jesus had and has now as our High Priest and Paracletos.
Phillipians 2:5....let this mind be in you that is also in the anointed one Jesus,
Romans 12:2: and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God — the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
Phillipians 2:3: Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others as better than themselves.
1 Peter 3:8: Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
If we could love our brothers and sister as God has shown how much He loves us by giving His son to be a sin-offering sacrifice in order that we could be reconciled to Him and have all our sins forgiven. Precious grace poured out on us who had nothing in us that would cause Him to act in the wonderful gracious way He has toward us who deserved nothing but death.
