Foot Washing, Leadership (Part 1)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg takes a closer look at John 13 and the importance of interpreting Jesus' promises in the upper room discourse. Specifically, the passage focuses on the act of foot washing, which Jesus uses to demonstrate the importance of humility and servitude as traits of a good leader. While foot washing was traditionally the responsibility of the lowest-ranking servant, Jesus himself took on this task to show that leaders should see themselves as no better than those they lead. While foot washing is not necessarily a sacrament, it remains a symbol of humility and a powerful reminder of the importance of serving others.
