I think what the Lord meant by washing one another 's feet was a representation of his forgiveness of our sin, first of all. The washing of the feet, was representative of his washing away our sins. Note, he said that everyone in the room was clean except the one that would betray him. And likewise, if he forgives us for our sins, represented by washing our feet, we should forgive others for theirs, i.e wash others ' feet. I also think it meant that we should have an attitude of servitude toward our fellow Christians. We should be willing to do anything necessary for them, even to "stoop so low " as to wash their feet. And voluntarily, I might add, because the Desciples did not ask Jesus to wash their feet.
