When He Washed Their Feet

The upper room grew quiet as Jesus took a towel and a basin of water. He knelt on the dusty floor before His closest friends. In that time, washing feet was a messy task strictly reserved for the lowest servant in a household. Yet, the Creator of the universe willingly chose to perform this humble job. We naturally spend so much of our energy trying to climb higher, seeking recognition, and wanting others to serve us. Jesus completely flipped this human standard on its head. He showed us that true greatness is never found in a title or a position of worldly power.
