This Trait Defined Jesus. Does It Define You?

Put yourself in Jesus’s shoes for a second — after 3 years teaching eleven guys how to flip the planet upside down with a fresh message about the Kingdom of God, you’ve got one more day to train them.

The Last Supper is already built into the Sader meal. That’s a given. He’ll need to clarify some fundamentals about what a life of faith looks like without the parables and veiled references.

But he’s got one more big life lesson to teach them. And to do it, Jesus goes full Mike Roe, mopping up the crud and the nastiness off of the sandal-clad feet that shlepped their way through livestock-choked roads of Jerusalem.

Horses, donkeys, oxen, camels — all of it — leaving their mess behind to be mixed in with the mud and water and urine that winds up caked on the feet of whatever poor schmuck steps in the wrong spot.

Is it any wonder that it was the job of the lowest-ranked slave in the household to wash all of that mess of a visitor’s feet before it got tracked through the house.

Since that’s were Jesus’s 11th hour lesson for his disciples began… do you think maybe He thought the lesson was pretty important? If that was so important to Jesus that he was still talking about it in the last hours before his arrest and crucifixion, maybe we should take a closer look at the idea.
