I love the 13th chapter of John which records Jesus washing the feet of His disciples.

Even though washing another’s feet is humbling for both parties, it is not particularly difficult for those that are friends.  But Jesus washed Judas’ feet – already knowing he would betray Him in just a few hours. (John 13:10-11)

Amazing!

At that moment it had nothing to do with Judas’ betrayal, but the scene depicts Jesus’ love, grace, and humility.  A poignant example of loving those we feel betrayed by. Lord, please keep that picture before our minds today.  May it crack the hardness of our hearts so that we may love and forgive the sinner in spite of……..

Lord, show us ways to symbolically wash the feet of those that have hurt us.

John 13:14 If I then, Your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.

Blessings, Diane
