We find Jesus in the Upper Room with His disciples as He ministers His selfless love…illustrated in this moving scene of Him performing the most menial of tasks…washing their feet. It was an object lesson, breaking all social norms, as Jesus willingly took on the role…modeling lowliness, meekness, and a life of surrender…of which they were obligated to follow. For Peter though, with all his impulsiveness, he objected vigorously, but Jesus reminds him in John 13:6-10 that bathing of the whole body symbolizes justification…a work accomplished by God for the Believer once and for all. While the washing of feet symbolized sanctification…an ongoing and ever increasing work of God performed for the Believer daily…a Spiritual cleansing & renewal of the heart to remain in fellowship with God.
