What does it mean for us to imitate Jesus example?
Notes on passages
13:14–15 The foot washing of Jesus becomes in vv.
14–15 the model (hypodeigma, “example”) for the disciples to follow.
It is precisely because their Lord and Teacher (note the reversal here of the order) was willing to adopt the humbling model of foot washing that Jesus’ disciples cannot treat humility as merely a nice idea that is unrelated to Christian life.
But the model of Jesus is not merely one of self-giving service to others epitomized in the foot washing.
The model is, in fact, one that also represents the dying Lamb of God.
Therefore the servant/follower of Jesus should realize that the self-giving washing of feet may be far more costly a calling than merely a matter involving a basin of water and a towel.
In the teaching of Jesus there is no division between head-understanding and life-practice.
