John 13:14-15 (KJV)
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Well I guess if the circumstances call for it, we ought to be washing each other's feet!

It’s this same principle you find on n his teachings and the teachings of the apostles
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:1-2
“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; ( freedom ) only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.”
Galatians 5:13 KJV
We’re meant to follow Jesus and act in Love towards others not only saying nice things but actually being humble and having the attitude of a servant who’s indebted by his love for all of us ….to help others in his name , to serve other people tbat God loves and wills be saved , in some capacity in this world for Christ in our deeds just daily life we don’t have to be a pastor to serve his Will we just have to love other people when we’re given a chance and we need the right attitude to sometimes help in a not so glorious way or with a really humble attitude or with a really not desirable situation someone else is in
we can start accusing and pointing fingers and witnessing against others like the law demands . Or we can start caring about the other people like they were a who’d made a huge mistake or gotten off track and work towards restoration and repentance but with love and sincere care for another believer
God loves that person as much as he does me and they need to hear about Jesus and salvation as much as I do
He would always have me love someone in whatever way I’m able to love them at the time they need it
Our obligation isnt to written law It to the love of God towards us all
