Christian foot washing was done as a service to one another. Long walks in sandals left the feet dirty, and hospitality demanded that people wash each others’ feet when they arrived at your home. I’ve been in (and participated in) Christian foot washings as a ceremony done every few months where the women wash the other women’s feet and the men wash the other men’s feet. It’s a dear and beautiful thing, and not many do it any more. The spirit of Christ the Servant is felt in it.
I am just thankful that our Father in Heaven does not demand that I exhaust myself washing every nook and cranny of my body five times a day when I want to pray to Him. These Muslims need to have to accommodate themselves to the country they are in just like we Christians have to do.
It was an ancient rite with the Jews:
>And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat; when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to cause an offering made by fire to smoke unto the LORD;
Christ was a Jew.
>These Muslims need to have to accommodate themselves to the country they are in just like we Christians have to do.
I agree. And I would be fairly offended if they washed their feet in the sinks of a public restroom.
