As the Last Supper looms, Jesus takes a moment to teach his disciples a lesson about humility, not a lesson of words, but a lesson by example. Because Jesus knew who he was, what his mission was, and that his reunion with the Father awaited, Jesus was able to lay aside his rightful kingship and take on the actions of a servant. When Peter objects to having his feet washed, Jesus assures him that all who follow him must imitate his servant's heart. Along the same lines, all who would approach God must do so in humble repentance, washed clean by the blood of the Lamb.
Jesus, by washing his disciples' feet, shows us that we must do likewise; it is in service to others that we will find peace.
