Why is Christ's washing of feet significant?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's washing of feet signifies His role as a servant and the necessity of His cleansing for salvation.

The washing of feet by Christ is rich in theological significance. It illustrates the humility of the Lord, who, despite His authority and divinity, stoops to serve His disciples. More importantly, this act is a poignant reminder that for one to have part in Christ, they must be cleansed by Him. As Christ said, 'If I wash you not, you have no part in me.' This emphasizes that salvation is solely the work of Christ, and we are dependent on Him for cleansing from sin, reinforcing the doctrine of grace that is central to Reformed theology.
