John 13:8 – Peter said to Him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me."
Notice what the Lord said to him: “Peter, if I don’t wash your feet, you have no part with me.” What the Lord was actually saying to Peter was, “Peter, you cannot walk together with me, if you don’t let me wash your feet.” So Peter said, “Lord, [wash] not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” (Jn 13:9)
But Jesus answered him saying, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. (Jn 13:10)
Once Christ is our Lord and Saviour, we are bathed all over, and cleansed by His blood once and for all eternity! His blood has perfected us forever (Hebrews 10:14), and we only need to wash our feet because we walk in the world and our feet pick up dust and dirt, causing us to be unholy.
So how is Jesus washing our feet today? Eph 5:25–26 tells us that “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the Word”
Yes, we are cleansed with the washing of water by the Word. The more we come under anointed teaching that unveils Christ through the Word, the more the cleansing goes on. And as we are washed, instead of stumbling, we will be walking and even running!
Thought for the day!
As we receive a deeper revelation of Christ through His Word, we will see victory in our daily walk!
