We are in the midst of Holy Week…
As we read the Gospel of John from chapters 12 to 18, we find Jesus’ parting words to His followers as He heads to the unimaginable cross…He speaks volumes to us, His children…
Though as always, actions speak louder than words….(read this slowwwly)…
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands,
And that He had come from God
And was going to God,
Rose from supper and laid aside His garments,
Took a towel and girded Himself.
After that, He poured water into a basin and
Began to wash the disciples' feet,
And to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
John 13:3-5
What more can be said?
The King of Universe
Stooped to wash filthy, worldly feet
The Pure…cleansing the unclean
The Master…showing us a servant’s heart
His robes of righteousness for our rags of sin
His stripes…for our healing
The Perfect Lamb slain…for our offenses
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah…who lives to give us life.
Thank you Lord Jesus for all that You have done.
