Washing Others Feet!
"If I then, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you also
ought to wash one another’s feet."
John 13:14
On a trip to the Holy Land, a couple of women walked around
the old cities in sandals. At the end of the day, they arrived at
their hotel with only one thing in
mind, washing their feet. They
had a new appreciation for the
biblical custom of feet-washing.
Every good host in antiquity performed this service for guests,
as Jesus did in the Upper Room. He told
us to follow His
example by serving
others.
In the Canadian town of Orillia, a six-year-old boy named Eric
became interested in police dogs, and when his mother found
some YouTube videos for him, he was impressed by one that
showed police officers performing acts of kindness. Inspired by
that, Eric decided to perform 100 acts of kindness in his village.
He began by giving out flowers to strangers and coffee to police
officers, and he has since performed 41 kind acts—with only 59
to go. But after he completes his goal, he intends to set another
for 200 acts of kindness.
You don’t have to be six years old
to take on the kindness challenge.
Whose feet can you wash today?
"The Christian is a person who makes
it easy for others to believe in God."
Robert Murray McCheyne
