When Jesus washed their disciples feet He taught two important lessons: purification to have fellowship with him. When he came to Peter, who refused to have his feet washed, Jesus said that he needed to have his feet washed by Jesus to participate in it, Peter changed his mind: "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and head" (John 13: 9). If needed purification to be in communion with Christ. Jesus explained that only needed to wash what was still dirty. So he said that most of the cleanse was already, but not all. Judas Iscariot did not hold communion with Christ because his heart was dominated by Satan. Without holiness, "no one shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14) and humility to serve. After washing the disciples' feet, Jesus said, "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. I have set you an example, that as I ye did, ye should do as well. Verily, verily I say that the servant is not greater than his master, nor is sent greater than he who sent him "(John 13:14-16). Jesus emptied, leaving the glory of heaven, to serve men (Philippians 2:5-8). (Dennis Alan).
He showed that (serve those who need us need is not to be ashamed, it's healthy. Sickening is the heavy heart of envy, hatred, bitterness, contempt, greed, let us happy in this journey of life, where everyone settles as his share).
