The [blank_start]Gospel[blank_end] is the teaching or revelation of Christ.

[blank_start]Jesus[blank_end] once washed his disciples’ feet to demonstrate that [blank_start]service[blank_end] rather than [blank_start]status[blank_end] represented greatness in the Kingdom of [blank_start]Heaven[blank_end]. Foot washing acts as a renewal of baptism and commitment to living God's way of life. Foot washing is still practised throughout the world on the Thursday before Good Friday.
