What is it about foot washing?

What Did Jesus intend for his disciples to understand by his washing their feet?  First, Jesus wanted them to know, as their lord, he was willing to go into the dirty places of their lives and the lives of the world so that he could wash their sins away in a wave of forgiveness.  Secondly, We, like the disciples, have an opportunity to expose ourselves of the things we would rather keep hidden, to bring them to God to have the dirt and sin of our lives washed away.  Third, and most importantly, Jesus gives us a mandate to live out the example he has given us, that we ought to be servants and find ways to wash the feet of others, forgiving their sins and allowing the vulnerability of removing their shoes as an aspect of deep relationship and trust.
