The Jesus Ask: John 13:1-17, 34-35

The story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet is often read, but not lived. Foot washing isn’t a common practice across Christianity, despite Jesus’ explicit command to wash one another’s feet. What does it mean to live a life answering “the Jesus ask” of washing one another’s feet and how can that show up in our Lenten practices? What does it mean that Jesus asked his disciples to love one another, even when he knew the response wouldn’t meet his needs? This week we reflect on our own ability to answer The Jesus Ask, by reflecting on our own ability to ask for what we need.
