Scripture: "Peter said to Him, 'You shall never wash my feet!' Jesus answered him, 'If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.'" John 13:8 (NKJV)
Reflection:
Peter's reaction makes sense. It feels backwards for the Lord to kneel down and wash our feet. Pastor Tyler named that feeling on Sunday: "You know rightly in your head, Lord, You shouldn't be washing my feet. I should be the one washing Your feet. But it doesn't work like that. You can't argue with His grace."
He was honest about the week, too. "Sometimes I track in a little mud from the week, from the day, but Jesus is faithful to wash my feet for me." The mud, he said, is "the cares of this world," the pull of money, pride, and all the noise that tries to drag our minds down from where we are seated with Christ.
Jesus washes us with His Word, and that washing is also comfort. It's how He gets us ready to serve. Pastor Tyler asked, "How you gonna go wash somebody else's feet with those muddy feet?"
So before you try to carry anyone else today, let Him clean you up. "You got to get real comfortable with Him washing your feet."
Question: What mud have you tracked in from the past week, and what has kept you from bringing it to Jesus?
Practice: Before you check your phone or the news, read one chapter of Scripture and ask Jesus to wash away the worry you are carrying.
Prayer: Jesus, I don't deserve Your kindness, but I receive it. Wash me with Your Word today, so I can serve others with clean hands and a clear heart. Amen.
