--THE WATER OF THE SERVANT, JESUS ~~ "He poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followers' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around Him." --John 13:5 ~~To place our feet in the basin of Jesus is to place the filthiest parts of our lives into his hands. In the ancient East, people's feet were caked with mud and dirt. The servant of the feast saw to it that the feet were cleaned. Jesus is assuming the role of the servant, He will wash the grimiest part of your life. If you let him. The water of the Servant comes only when we confess that we are dirty. Only when we confess that we are caked with filth, that we have walked forbidden trails and followed the wrong paths.... We will never be cleansed until we confess we are dirty. We will never be pure until we admit we are filthy. And we will never be able to wash the feet of those who have hurt us until we allow Jesus, the One we have hurt, to wash ours.~ --A Gentle Thunder/ML [Just before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father, by way of the Cross. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of His love." --(John 13:1-2) =Worthy is the Lamb, thank you for the Cross, Lord!< http://youtu.be/PRR03YAHtKQ> ------------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
