Have you ever washed someone else’s feet…took care of their need to be clean…

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you...John 13:4-15.


Jesus physically washed their feet as a sign to keep watch of each other to remain clean. Imagine God literally washing your feet to meet the smallest of your needs. Jesus told Peter he had to allow Jesus to clean everwhit (everywhere ever part) or else he could have no part of being Jesus Apostle. Peter said then everywhere or clean my heads and hands. Have you brought Jesus your darkness and asked Him to cleanse it…yes or no? You will be condemned if you do not…

 

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God...John 3:19-21.

 

Prayer

Father we like Peter bring every part of us hands feet and head and ask you would clean us from all of our darkness even in the remotest parts of our soul…please pronounce us clean and Holy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
