As Christ's called-out disciples, we are obligated to follow His example in keeping the Passover, a solemn event which commences with foot washing, an act introduced by Jesus the night preceding His gruesome crucifixion, symbolizing humility, service, and forgiveness. In a culture valuing power and self-interest, our Lord and Savior taught that true greatness comes by servanthood. In John 13, when our Savior washed His disciples' feet, He taught them that He was willing to accept the task designated to the lowest of the servants. When Peter resisted allowing Jesus his Master to wash his feet, alarmed that his Superior would accept such a humiliating task, Jesus taught Peter, as well all His disciples today, that unless we embrace a servant's heart, we have no part in Him. The foot washing mindset also embraces forgiveness, reminding us that since He has forgiven us and all of humanity, we as Christ's servants are obligated to forgive others. True service is equivalent to sacrifice. As we prepare for Passover, we should consider foot washing a solemn reminder of our covenant with God—a call to humility, service, and acquiring a forgiving heart, not just in the Passover ritual, but perpetually throughout our entire lives.
