foot washingPart of Asian culture, foot washing was practiced because people walked in sandals, resulting in soiled and dirty feet. The feet of guests were usually washed by household servants. DTP Jesus washed the disciples' feet, showing that He was a servant. He also told the disciples that they, too, should humble themselves and wash each other's feet, a sign of servanthood.
