One man said to his friend: "Say, you look depressed. What are you thinking about?"
"My future," was the quick answer.
"What makes it look so hopeless?"
"My past."
John-13:8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
Jesus washing the feet of his disciple was a great example of humility and the kingdom practice to serve one another. Perhaps if all of us are willing to grow in this attitude, the Church of Christ will surely make a deeper impact in this degenerating society.
While Jesus was washing the feet of the disciples, Peter the smart one, tried to fake some humility and stopped Jesus from washing his feet. But Jesus insisted to do so. By washing the feet, Jesus was removing all the dirt which no one wants to associate with. Legs help us stand and take us to places. Jesus was also removing all evidences of the places one has been to. Perhaps he was making it look fresh, healthy and telling them to walk like me without any fear of the world. No more hurts and pains of the past. Don’t be bothered about where you have been. Stay at Daddy’s feet. You are clean.
