Humility with Spiritual Bonding and Serve
I used to attend a church that encouraged members be part of washing of the saints' feet (John 13:1-17). The purpose of feet-washing is this: Jesus asked us to do. "Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet" (John 13:14). When Jesus washed His disciples' feet, He gave an example. It was an example to be followed in practice, not merely known (John 13:12-17). We do this because Jesus set an example because He simply did it. We don't view this as a commandment but rather love and humility. This is something Jesus asked us to do, in my view that Jesus STRONGLY encourages us when He said: "ye also ought to wash one another's feet." It’s a very bonding moment to do feet washing with fellow believers in Christ. After feet-washing, men are able to bond and focus on the local Church's ministries better. . Romans 12:3 - For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. In Galatians 6:3 says "If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself." And in James 1:26 says, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless."
