"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God forgave you in Christ." Ephesians 4.32
Jesus girds the waist with an apron of a servant, making a pot and kneels before one of his disciples. Unleash a sandal that covers one of her feet and places it in the pot, cover it with water and start washing. One by one, a dirty foot after the other, Jesus is washing the feet of all his disciples.
Please be assured that Jesus knows the future of these foot-washing. These twenty-four feet do not walk the next day after his master, in defense of their cause. These feet will flee and seek refuge flash the sword of Rome. Just a couple of feet will not move in a garden. Only one student did not leave in Gethsemane. And Judas even go so far. Here
the gift that Jesus makes to his disciples! He knows what these men are about to do ... And when they do, want to remember how he knelt before them and washed their feet. Wants you to understand that those feet are still clean ... He forgave their sins before committing. He offered mercy even before the seek. Lucado, Max; Gibbs, Terri A.: Grace for the Moment.
