The writer mentioned that the Lord Jesus loved His disciples. The immediate action within the context was the Lord washing their feet. Thus, one would surmise that His love is reflected in His service. Only the lowest-ranked servant did the washing of the feet. The Lord Jesus was willing to do the most debased work to reflect His service. However, washing the feet was a pale comparison to His ultimate service, which was to suffer, die, and rise again. His ultimate form of service is reflective of His love for His followers. The Lord’s love is intertwined with His love in this greatest expression.
