Foot Washing, Leadership (Part 2)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the themes of foot washing, apostleship and the new commandment of Jesus in this discussion. While foot washing may not be a normative practice in Christianity, it teaches the principles of servanthood and humility which can be exemplified through modern-day acts of humble service. The inclusion of documents in the New Testament canon is based on their apostolic or close associate apostolic authorship and their connection to the teachings and approval of the apostles. Jesus' new commandment to love one another, as he loved us, is a duty for all Christians and it is the distinguishing factor that makes the world recognize disciples of Jesus Christ.
