| | Communion and Feet Washing |
 | | Feet washing is a divine ordinance given solely to The Church of God, who has rightly accepted "Feet Washing" as an ordinance established by Jesus. | | | The Feet Washing service is a sacred time for all who participate in the fellowship of this ordinance. | | | If one participates in the Feet Washing service, and is unclean in any manner, they are betraying Jesus in that they are practicing the ordinance as an unworthy participant. |

| | Feet Washing (John 13) |
| | In other words, feet washing is not a ceremony to symbolize that one is more humble than other Christians-if that would be the case, it would come closer to symbolizing a Pharisaical pride-but to symbolize spiritual equality and love in the brotherhood. | | | Further, as was noted above, Mennonites also regard feet washing as a symbol of spiritual cleansing which each believer enjoys in Christ Jesus. | | | Be not ashamed to do the work of the Lord, but humble yourselves with Christ before your brethren's feet, that all humility according to the divine nature may be found in you. |

| | Washing one another's feet It has been said that the early church was only left with three commandments: Love one another (do unto others) Break bread (take communion) Wash each other's feet It is this last element I wish to look at. | | | In verse 8 we see the Lord responding to Peter who has just declared "You shall never wash my feet!" and Christ replies "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me." John makes it clear to us that Christ is the word of God. | | | He taught them this, in the context of gathering together for fellowship: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. |

| | The Doctrine of Feet Washing |
| | While Christ himself was washing his disciples' feet, they did not understand the nature and the purpose of the practice (verse 7). | | | Without waiting to dispute as to who is greatest or who is least, we are to wash one another's feet; for we are all alike, all brethren together, all members of one spiritual family-the family of the Lord, who set us this beautiful example. | | | Eastern and Western, people, those who wore sandals or shoes and stockings, and those who went or go with bare feet, that is, all decent people of every age or nation that we know of, washed, and do wash, their feet when necessary for cleanliness or comfort. |

| | This is the "washing of regeneration" that is mentioned in Titus 3:5. | | | To wash the feet of a brother or sister means that we must set aside our pride and any personal agendas or grudges, and humbly stoop to minister to another person's needs. | | | These two types of washings (the bath and the foot-washing) are what our Lord is referring to in verse 10. |

| | "Men's" Feet Washing at Holy Thursday? |
| | For this reason, the priest who presides at the Holy Thursday liturgy portrays the biblical scene of the gospel by washing the feet of some of the faithful. | | | The principal and traditional meaning of the Holy Thursday mandatum, a underscored by the decree of the Congregation, is the biblical injunction of Christian charity: Christ's disciples are to love one another. | | | Response: The Lord Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper as a sign of the new commandment that Christians should love one another: "Such as my love has been for you, so must your love be for each other. |

| | FEET WASHING |
| | Those who wash feet as an ordinance of worship prove by this action that they do not understand the message which the Messiah conveyed to his disciples. | | | Obviously, Yahshua had a more significant motive for washing the feet of the disciples than to establish a yearly ritual; a motive which was not immediately obvious to the disciples. | | | After washing their feet (John 13:4-17), the Messiah continued to (1) lecture the Apostles, and (2) pray for them, that they would love one another, even as he loved the Father (John 13:18 to 17:26). |

| | The washing of the feet of chosen men which, according to tradition, is performed on this day [Holy Thursday], represents the service and charity of Christ, who came 'not to be served, but to serve.' This tradition should be maintained, and its proper significance explained. | | | Particularly in the context of the Holy Thursday liturgy, the ritual of washing the feet of men suggests the strong connection between Christ's washing His Apostles feet and the institution of the Eucharist and Holy Orders. | | | If the washing of feet were only symbolic of charity and service, why did Jesus not wash the feet of the sick, or the hungry, or the lepers, or His friends in the house of Lazarus, or at the feeding of the five thousand? |
