2 So after He had washed their feet and put His robe back on and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? 13 You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master’—and rightly you say, for I am. 14 So if I, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example—you should do for each other what I have done for you.
16 “Amen, amen I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master, and the one who is sent isn’t greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them!”
There's a misunderstanding of who Christ Jesus really is.
John 17 said, he and the Father are one, and he wants us to abound in his spirit, which says God is love. All through out the Bible, Christ is so Tender hearted, and Sweet. He turned over the tables in the temple, because he said, MY house shall be a house of prayer. He wants Respect. Just like this example of feet washing. I lived in another county, actually Middle sex most of my life, went to all the schools there, and miss it. If you move, places of worship might be a long ways to travel. BUt, once there was a feet washing service. The Pastors wife, washed my feet. I cant' get that out of my spirit to this day, and I don't want to, because it goes with me every day of my life, the worthiness of valuing another human being. No one knows what some people have gone through, they seek an oasis, a place of refuge, to restore, a place of love. Broken hearts, lives, homes, abuse, and all Traumas, that need healing and restoration.
It has made my spirit in that area so strong, that the love that was applied to my feet. God valules people. He will hold responsible of the damages done to those who are hurting. A bruised reed he will not break. My meaning of this goes like this.
We could be thrown against the rocks, scared wounded, and bleeding, hurt, and broken, yet GOD Amilghty holds our spirit in him, and we rise up, recover, restore, and repair. He will not let us, break even though were bruised and hurting. If we stay in FAith, believing, he is able to accomplish what he has begun, and promised us in his words.
