Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. 

Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

...

So he got up from supper, 

laid aside his outer clothing, 

took a towel, and tied it around himself.

Next,

he poured water into a basin 

and began to wash his disciples' feet 

and to dry them with the towel tied around him.

John 13:1, 4-5 CSB

Jesus time was almost up. He didn't have a bucket list, just a bucket.

He put on the clothing of a servant.

He took the posture of a servant.

He did the work of a servant.

He washed feet.

And he dried them.

One by one.

Up close.

Personal.

Sacrificial.

Touch.

Giving. Serving. Cleaning.

Cleaning the dirt of this world.

I wonder how long it takes to wash and dry 12 people's feet? 

Jesus did this to show that he loved his team. Loved his people.

He calls us to follow him, to clean off the dirt of this world, the stench, the stains.

To get up close, to touch, to give, to take on the clothing, the posture, and the work of a servant.

To simply follow him. 

The one with the bucket.
