Washing Feet

I was discussing with my children today the connection I see between Jesus' washing of the disciples feet and the need to walk in our 'priestly' function and 'wash' one another's feet by forgiving them.

I pointed out to them how Jesus said that a person doesn't need their whole body washed; that has already been done by the washing of the water of the Word that has brought them into the forgiveness of the Father through their belief in Jesus's words.

The daily offences that we commit against the Father and against one another are our 'dirty feet' that need to be cleansed.

We need to keep short accounts with one another, pray with and for one another, and if any have committed sins, they will be forgiven and their sickness healed. (James 5:16)
