As the
custom of welcome of those days the servant of the household washed the feet of
the traveler, who often walked barefoot, Jesus chooses to be that servant in
this Gospel passage. The messages are:
a. Jesus wants us to be servants who
serve.
b. Authority is to serve and not for
showing off.
c. It is a sacred act of purifying them
just as baptism does
d. It is a preparation before sharing
the ‘Bread of Life’
e. To allow ourselves to be washed clean
by Jesus our Lord and Savior –sacrament of reconciliation.
f. To be humble and merciful in the
Eucharist
g. No place of domination or
self-glorification in Christian leadership.
