I love this. My feet are totally gross on their best days. They are abnormally dry, peeling and nasty. I can't imagine Jesus insisting on washing them. I also think the disciples didn't do this job although they should have because they thought it was beneath them. So Jesus showed them that the way of Christ is the way of servant hood. I was just reading a section in a Timothy Keller book that was talking about how crazy that concept is, but that is the foundation of Christianity. There are so many tender, broken parts of me that I don't even understand or see. I'm glad we serve a gracious God.
Thank you so much for this. I’m deeply moved by your honesty. Your willingness to be vulnerable made my heart smile! This is what touches me too — that Jesus does not turn away from what feels tender, broken, hidden, or even embarrassing to us. He insists on coming close there. And yes, His way is always the way of servant love. I’m so grateful this reflection met you there.
Simply beautiful. Nothing else I can say or add.
Thank you so very much for your encouragment. I am so glad it was a blessing.
Beautiful
