Washing the Savior's Feet, Featured

Washing the Savior’s Feet

Oil on canvas, 24×36 inches, February 2019
Personal Painting

Purchase Prints | Purchase Original: $3,200

A scene from my imagination of two faithful women who followed those carrying Christ’s body from the cross, doing what they could, in the little time they had before his tomb was sealed, to prepare his body for burial.

Washing the Savior's Feet

Foot washing was a common courtesy to honored guests and Jesus likely had His feet washed by servants several times. I was interested, however, in examining the role that women, some of His most ardent followers, might have had in this act of service toward their savior. Instance we know of: He washed his disciples’ feet but did not let them wash his. Earlier, however, he had let a penitent woman do so.

A touching commentary of those events details how we can all express our gratitude for His kindness toward us by serving Him.
