wash one another's feet

Respecting and doing things for older and people we respect is easy. We were trained since we were born to obey our parents and our teachers. And then we teach those who are younger than us and discipline them. We do have to be patient and sacrifice for them. I'm not a parent yet so I don't know exactly what it is to sacrifice for a kid. But it doesn't matter whether I'm a parent now or not, God commands us to serve one another whether they are more mature or less or our mentor or mentee etc. Christ who is the king washed the disciple's feet with his own towel on himself. We already know this but it's difficult to be humble and serve those younger than us and put them above us. Think of them more highly, more important, to put them first. Christ could have just commanded us, but He literally washed the feet Himself. He walked on this earth to serve. 

John 13
⁵Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ... ¹⁴"If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵"For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.
