Jesus Washes the Disciples Feet

Today we will talk about Jesus' love for the Lord. We all know the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet. If you don't, Jesus washed the disciples feet to show God his love and devotion for him. He loved all of the people around him, and he was going to show that by washing everyone's feet. Love someone until the end.

This all connects to the cross. Jesus' most loving thing he did for the Lord was died on the cross for our sins. He gave his own life for our sinful selves. This is an example of how we should love each other as brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. He wants us to love each other, and treat each other with respect and kindness.

"What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." - John 13:7

The disciples didn't understand why Jesus was washing each one of their feet. They didn't get the concept or reasoning for doing so. He was doing this in order to show the love he had for his brothers and sisters and the love he had for God. It was to make the disciples realize that, that is how we should treat one another.

We will never rise up and be as wonderful as our Maker. He will forever be our Father, and he is in control. We should do the things that God has asked of us, and he will forever bless us if we do so. We all should show our love for God by being kind and loving towards the people surrounding us. There are numerous ways of showing God that you love him. Being kind to everyone, is just one way. Do your best at doing all kinds of things to show your dying love for him.

For you are just one person, but one person can change the world. Are you that one?

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.
