Mu mico yose Yesu yeretse intumwa ze, birashoboka ko kwicisha bugufi byari byo byangombwa. Yaravuze ati “Niba ushaka kuba umukuru mu bwami bw’Imana, wige kuba umugaragu w’abandi”. Ukwicisha bugufi bigendana n’urukundo kandi igihe barangizaga gusangira, Yesu yifuje kwerekana urukundo rwe ruhebuje. Yesu yakenyeye umwenda nk’umuhereza, maze afata ibasi ashyiramo amazi. Arangije atangira koza ibirenge byanduye byabamukurikiye. Umwe kuri umwe agenda apfukama imbere y’abo cumin a babili, atuje acecetse, atangira kuboza ibirenge. Arangije arababwira ati, “ Nkuko maze kuboza ibirenge namwe niko muzajya mubigenza mwozanya ibirenge”. Arangije aravuga ati, “ ndimo kubaha itegeko rishyashya. Mukundane nkuko nabakunze. Gutyo abantu bose bazamenya ko muri abigishwa banjye, nimukundana”.
Of all the attitudes that Jesus showed His disciples, perhaps humility was most important. He said, “If you want to be great in God’s Kingdom, learn to be the servant of all”. Humility is the twin-face of love and as the last supper was ending, Jesus desired to show the full extent of His love. Jesus removed His outer clothes and wrapped a servant’s towel around His waist. He filled a basin with water. Then He began to wash the dirty feet of His followers. One-by-one He knelt before His followers and in silence washed their feet. When He was finished, He said, “Since I have washed your feet, you should wash one another’s feet”. Then He said, “I am giving you a new command. Love one another as I have loved you. By this all people will know that you are my followers: if you love one another”.
