John 13-15

John 13: 4-10
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.  After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.   Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith   unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?  Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.  Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.  Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean

Jesus tells Peter that he will understand later why He must wash their feet. 
Why is it necessary for Jesus to wash the feet of the disciples?

John 13: 35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

They will know we are Christians by our love for one another.

John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

Jesus is The Way.  We follow Jesus.  It is not our works but His, He is The Truth.  Apart from Jesus there is no life.
