A Leson In Humility

At the last supper, it had been a long day and I'm sure they had walked a dusty road. Jesus now showed His love. He got up from the table and took off His outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around His waist. He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciples feet. This was a job for the lowest servants but the hands that washed those feet were the same hands that created the universe, that hung the stars in place, that created us. The bible says He washed every disciples feet. He didn't leave anyone out. He knew what was going to happen. He knew that every disciple but one would desert Him. He knew that Peter would deny Him and He knew that Judas was going to betray Him. When He had finished washing their feet, He returned to His place at the table. He told the disciples that they should do what He had done. I think this is not only a lesson in humility but also in forgive- ness. Jesus wants us to have a forgiving heart.
