We join with Selwyn in looking at John 13:16 for another day. I liked his view that bending down to wash another’s feet, involves obedient service and is different to the world’s view of only providing a service if it’s in the person’s interest. I also liked the last two sentences, of today’s study: “As we become servants and wash each other’s feet, the distinction between master and servant ends. Serving each other, we all simultaneously become the greatest (equal ?) in the kingdom.”
I don’t find this verse in John, to be particularly hard to accept (hence the short post) – how about you?
