Description One of the most humbling experiences can be either the receiver or giver of the washing of feet. Most can say that they are self-conciouss about their feet and to have someone (anyone) execute this act of service can make one feel vulnerable.
Christ was/is followed and looked to for His teaching and power - a leader, a master, the King. For Him, in great & mighty authority, to be giving those that considered themselves far below Him to perform a servant's duty such as this was unheard of.
But, in doing so, Jesus demonstrated a major principle that should be followed and remembered by all who adhere to and belive on Him: "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first" "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Let there be a reminder that the basic fundamentals of Christianity are love, genrosity, patience, faithfullness, self-control (discipline), joy, peace, humility, compassion....
Too often, those that claim to be Christian say and do things that do not resound those truths. Be mindful that they are human and by default will make the mistakes. But, do not fault Christianity itself for the faulty representation by many.
To come to Christ is a choice made by no other than the individual. Any coersion or condemnation or fearmongering is outright against how God would will any to come to Him.

Much love
~David

The facial expressions communicate the love and humility that are being communicated in this simple gesture.

Absolutely a great drawing and a wonderful lesson behind it. May we disciples be recognized more for washing feet and proclaiming the truth than for ignorance or condemnation.

I am not Christian nor do I believe in any kind of God, but I believe in having values, and respect. I actually agree with many of the things you are saying here, so we are not too different after all. I am happy to have been able to think and choose by myself all my life and I think the same of everybody in the same situation, whatever his choices and beliefs may be. i like your drawing

Thank you for the kind comment and understanding. Very cool of you to say.
And much respect for your appreciation of thought concerning that which is different from your own. Sometimes this gets attacked when there is none necessary. Though I believe it may come from experiences with those whom acknowledge their faith and take to judging those outside the realm.
Again, wonderful response! Cheers!

Cheers to you!
I am very with you in the last two phrases, really. In my country at least, I see too many attitudes nowadays which I don't like, and in fact worry me, as an atheist myself, among both religious and atheist people. We all need to question everything in order to reach a conclussion and make a decission, I think it's necessary. But in the end, whatever conclussion we reach is entirely up to us, and we shouldn't be attacked nor coerced for what we choose.

Someone once said that if the Cross weren't the symbol of the Christian,
foot washing would be.

That's a good thought, Adrienne! A symbol of service.
