Most churches today have accepted the words Do This in Memory of Me (Luke 22:19), yet found it in their hearts to reject the words, Wash One Another’s Feet. (John 13:14) The main excuse for doing this, and rejecting the latter teaching, is that foot washing is merely cultural, and we don’t need to do ancient cultural practices. All we have to do is be hospitable to one another.
This brushoff of a command should seem strange considering many millions in the Church have practiced foot washing continually to the present day, although with different understandings of its value. Stronger still, when we realize that the washing of feet is not a mere demonstration of ancient behavior, but a command of the Lord, one which He also explains, it is a teaching to be obeyed, not to be dismissed. In expressing the humility we should have, and in expressing the cleanliness we should pursue, a fair-minded person could call it a sacrament.
Does your church dismiss foot washing because Jesus didn’t really mean us to do it, or do they dismiss the practice because they think it stinks?
