Jesus washed the disciples’ feet. But Peter could only see the humiliation of being a servant so he protested, “Lord you will NEVER wash my feet” (John 13:8).
Peter felt unworthy to have the Son of God wash his feet. He was right, none of us are. But that is the very point Jesus is making. If he who is perfect serves us who are so unworthy, then for goodness sakes we can serve one another.
Jesus is teaching, he who chooses manipulation over service values himself over the Son of God.
