What is the purpose of a foot washing service?
I was raised Pentecostal, so I have been to my share of foot washing services. But I have never understood their purpose.
I know th story of Jesus washing the feet as an act of humility and service. But what does mimicking that passage do for us?
When Jesus did it, it was needful and had significance. When we splash warm water on clean feet, it just seems silly at best, and a mockery at worst. We are in no way serving people by doing that.
It seems more fitting, if we want to serve like Jesus did, that we would find a needed and humble task and do that in rememberance of how he served.
But maybe I'm missing another point besides service. All constructive comments are welcome!
