Reflective Questions
1. Have you ever been asked to do a demeaning, lowly job? What thoughts went through your mind at the time?
I remember one time while I was in the Army, one of my sergeants asked me to do an inspection on a vehicle that he knew was not able to be driven. I was mad because he wasted my time, and felt insulted.
2. Do you feel awkward or uncomfortable when others try to serve you? Why or why not?
There are times when I feel uncomfortable because I think of myself as an independent person.

1. According to John, what does Jesus know about himself (vv. 1-3)?
He knew he was getting ready to die and the position and power He was given by the Father.
2. In the light of that knowledge, what is remarkable about what Jesus does next (vv. 4-5)?
It is amazing to me that the Lord of all creation, the One to whom we should bow, humbled Himself and washed the feet of His disciples.
3. Footwashing was normally done by servants or slaves. Why do you think Jesus washes his disciples' feet instead of simply giving them a sermon on love?
Most people seem to be visual learners, and this was an object lesson the disciples would never forget. If the Savior can humble himself, then we should humble ourselves to do whatever is necessary to display godly love.
4. What tasks at home, at work or in church would be equivalent to footwashing?
Janitorial duties or anything that doesn't require a specific "skill" to accomplish.
5. How do you think Jesus feels as he washes Judas' feet?
I think He was hurt, knowing that Judas was going to betray Him. I also think He felt confident in knowing that this was part of the Father's plan.
6. How do you think Judas feels?
The act of Jesus washing Judas' feet had to cut him to the core of his being. This Man, who in love is serving me, is the One I am going to betray.
