Washing the Saint's Feet

By William Haynes

The term ordinance has been defined and illustrated. So, what are the ordinances of the New Testament church? There are three ordinances given by the chronological order as given by Jesus. The first one is BAPTISM (Matt. 3:13-17). The second ordinance is WASHING THE SAINT'S FEET (John 13:1-17). The third ordinance is called the LORD'S SUPPER (John 13:18-38; 1 Cor. 11:23-30; Matt. 26:26-29). It would be frivolous to debate that one ordinance is more important or ranks higher than another. All three ordinances are commanded, greatly needed, and are to be observed. If the ordinances were rated by the amount of gospel truths symbolized then WASHING THE SAINT'S FEET would rate first. The purpose of this work is to highlight the second ordinance given by our Lord and to teach its many deep spiritual truths. And to reveal the beautiful testimony the observance of the ordinance demonstrates to the world. While this work focuses its attention on the second ordinance, it must be noted that, Baptism and the Lord's Supper are counted very sacred and important. The aim of this work is not to lower their importance, but to rightfully elevate the Washing of the Saint's Feet.
