Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”
John 13:8 NKJV
What Jesus was doing with the disciples had a very powerful spiritual meaning. This wasn’t just about feet being washed. It was about serving, and humility, and sanctification, and obedience. It’s amazing how something so simple and, in those days, routine could have such an impact.
Peter thought the foot washing was optional. It was not.
I never want to minimize obedience in the simplest things. The spiritual reality is much deeper than the physical act itself. Never minimize simple obedience.
Holy Spirit, give me greater understanding of the deep spiritual impact in the simple things throughout my day. Amen.
