—John 13:6-10
by: Angie Osborn.
Peter had a hard time accepting his Lord's washing of his feet. He recognized Jesus' greatness and couldn't imagine Jesus doing such a lowly task. However, Jesus made it clear that Peter's feet needed to be washed by him.
We all need to be washed by Jesus. Only he can make us clean before God. Like Peter, we are sometimes hesitant to let Jesus wash us. We want to hide things from him or do it ourselves. When Christ prods us to allow him to cleanse our hearts, we need to submit and give ourselves wholly over to him.
