They understood Jesus meant for them to serve one another.
There are those that wash feet at every oportunity but they have no clue as to how to serve their brothers or sisiters TODAY and miss countless opportunity's to humbly serve others.
They go wash some feet and all their guilt is gone.
This supposed command Jesus gave. It was recorded conversation between Jesus and 12 people he was teaching an object lesson on humble service.
He told them they should follow his EXAMPLE. We have absolutley no record if there was ever another foot washing service in the early church.
Communion Paul delt with in 1 Corinthians with no mention to them of footwashing.
Foot wash all you want. but to condemn those who prefer not to in this day and age is not right.

Day and age has NOTHING to do with following an EXAMPLE. Jesus gave the EXAMPLE and then commanded them to DO the same. The wording in Lu.22 concerning communion is 'this DO" the wording is the same.
