.....................................................................................................~ Modern Jesus Washing of the Feet ~
..............................................................................
Jesus demonstrates the custom of the time when he comments on the lack of hospitality in one Pharisees home by not providing water to wash his feet:
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair" – Luke 7:44

John 13:14-17
King James Version (KJV)
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
My thesis for this thread: How strong is your faith? Would you be willing to wash my feet in this way? Could we videotape this sacred experience to show the world how strong a faith you have?
Now you know these things...
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
John 13:14-17
