Back in the days, people wore sandals and walked on unpaved and dusty roads. It was customary for a basin of water to be prepared by the host to wash the feet of the guests. It was a task carried out by the most menial of servants. Yet on the night before Jesus died, He did the unthinkable. He demonstrated the most radical act of humility. A master washing the feet of His disciples. There is something more to this account than just servanthood. Contained within this radical act of humility was the blueprint of salvation. Christ humbled Himself to become man, died on the cross and brought reconciliation between God and man through His blood.
