In John 13:14-15, Jesus tells His disciples, “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Does this mean the practice of footwashing is a biblical requirement, or did Jesus only mean that believers should look for practical ways to serve one another?
Dr. David K. Bernard answers this question with a review of both the Scriptures and the history of revival movements, including the early twentieth-century Pentecostals.
In this episode, Dr. Bernard references the book Footwashing in John 13 and the Johannine Community by Pentecostal scholar John Christopher Thomas, available at https://amzn.to/3v9CMwq.
