Jesus Washes the Disciples Feet

Holy Thursday, Maundy Thursday, The Last Supper they all mean the same thing. The Thursday before Good Friday, the last supper with the disciples and the washing of the feet. Maundy is derived from the Latin word for "command", so Maundy Thursday refers to the command that Jesus gave his disciples to love and serve one another. Should we observe this day, the Bible neither commands nor forbids. To me the point is this; Love one another and serve one another in humility and not just on one day, throughout our lives.

In the video clip Jesus is celebrating the Passover with his disciples and all of the sudden he wants to wash their feet. Listen closely to Peter, I love this scene. This is also the first hint that Jesus knew that Judas would betray him.

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not great than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. John 13:15-17
