John 13:1-17 describes Jesus washing His disciples feet's. Now, I can perfectly understand the disciples washing Jesus's feet but, really? Jesus humbling Himself to the position of a servant and washing their feet? The disciples didn't deserve it, they should have been the ones washing Jesus's feet. But thankfully, God doesn't always give us what we deserve. We deserve to die on the cross for our sins, but instead Jesus took our punishment. He humbled himself to a position that we were supposed to fulfill. Someone had to do it, but instead of the ones deserving of the punishment, Jesus took it for us. Jesus, the perfect One, cared enough for us to die on the cross for sins He was completely undeserving of. Why would He do it? Because He loves us. He loves us so much that He would rather pay for our punishments than give us what we deserve. Because He took our death away and gave us life instead, can't we live for Him?
