The first important thing Jesus did at the Last Supper Jesus knew now that he would be handed over to the high priests to be put to death. He made arrangements to have a last meal with his friends. Before the meal was served Jesus washed his friends’ feet. This was a ritual in the time and place where Jesus lived as the roads were very dry and dusty. Usually it was a servant’s job. Jesus washed their feet to show the disciples that they must be the servants of all. They needed to be willing to do things for others. This message that Jesus gave his first followers is also a message for all the followers who came after them – including us. We have to be prepared to be ‘servants’ whenever we can, because that’s what Jesus wants. In Jesus’ day washing someone’s feet was a way to welcome people to your home.
