One of the most profound and beautiful stories in the Bible is the account of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples in John 13.

In the hurry and scurry of the war there were times when the feats of General Arnold went unnoticed. This hurt in his most vital spot — his vanity. So he committed a terrible act — he…
