Blessings for all the Christian brothers and heroes of Steem.
"The son of man did not come to be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)
Jesus kneels before one of his disciples. He unties a sandal and gently lifts the foot and places a bowl, covers it with water and begins to bathe it. One by one, one dirty feet behind the other, Jesus follows the entire row.
Hours before his own death, Jesus' concern is unique, He wants his disciples to know how much He loves them.
More than removing dirt, He is removing doubt.
Jesus knows what will happen to his hands during the crucifixion, and He wants them to remember how he bent his knees and washed his feet. A remarkable mercy, Jesus wants us to remember his sacrifice, what happened on that cross.
The blood shed washed us, cleansed us of our sins, no sacrifice needs to be made, the greatest of sacrifices was already made! Perfect sacrifice, the blood that was spilled acquired us, an acquired people you are. We just need to give our lives in the hands of Jesus, He forgave sins, before they committed them. He offered mercy before we searched.
God bless you!
