4. Jesus washes the disciples feet

Lots of us don’t like our feet and perhaps the thought of someone touching our feet and washing them doesn’t feel right. Our feet have trodden in many places and carry many stories. When you first look at the foot display, they all look similar. Look closer, and you will see the differences which tell of all sorts of experiences and lives lived. When Jesus washed his followers’ feet, he embraced them as people whose feet told a story of joy and sorrow, of love and hate and through his act of cleansing, also a story of God’s grace that calls us into a real and close (and for some like Peter sometimes too close!) relationship with God. We want God, but we want him to keep his distance. God in Jesus Christ, comes into our messy lives, over looking our claims to be too unworthy, and embraces us, feet and all.
