Text: John 13:1-11 (Gospel of John)
1. Before the Passover, Jesus, knowing that the hour had come for him to leave the world and return to the Father, loved his own who were in the world, but loved him to the end.
2. The devil had already put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to sell Jesus.
3. At supper, Jesus knew that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and would return to God.
4. He got up from the dinner table, took off his coat, took a towel, and put it around his waist.
5. Then he poured water into a basin and washed the disciples' feet, and began to wash with the towel that he was draped with.
6. He said to Simon Peter, "Lord, do you wash my feet?
7. Jesus answered and said to them, You do not know now what I am doing, but after this you will understand
8. Peter said, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
9. Simon Peter said to him, Lord, wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.
10. Jesus said to him, "He who has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, but his whole body is clean. You are clean, but not all of you."
11. For he knows who will betray him; therefore, not all are clean.
Title: Wash My Feet
1. God's Plan for Salvation
Adam and Eve, who had fun and joy while walking in the Garden of Eden, were deceived by the devil's temptation and sinned. 'It's all yours, but you can't do just one! Do not eat only the fruit of the good and evil in the center of the garden. If you eat this, you will surely die.” This was a decree that had to maintain order in the relationship between the Creator and creation. True freedom has laws for order. The law must be obeyed, and when it is not observed, the order will be broken and the prescribed punishment will follow. Even the princes and princesses of a country have no choice but to apply it fairly.
God did not leave such humans alone, and promised a gracious salvation plan in the Garden of Eden. When the first ancestors who sinned, trembling with shame, covered their naked bodies with fig leaves, and they withered and dried up, and they were embarrassed, and did not know what to do, God slaughtered a sheep, made blood-stained skins, covered it, covered it, and promised the gospel.
2. The washed blood of the Lord
How merciful our Heavenly Father made and clothed us with the skins of lambs stained with never-drying blood instead of fig leaves (Genesis 3:15) and said that not only would the woman and the serpent be enemies of one another, but that the descendants would be enemies of one another. The descendants of the serpent are descendants of those who resemble Satan. Therefore, the world is a spiritual and spiritual battlefield where there is a constant struggle between the wicked and the godly. God first established the house church and was pleased with it. God values and pays attention to the family. The first thing the devil aims and focuses on in this age is the home. Marital discord, family destruction, missing children, social instability, depression, delirium, mistrust, and depravity begin there. Since the devil doesn't know where he's going, please catch the little fox that invisibly seeps into marriage problems, families, children, churches, society, and the country.
Those who have not washed their feet by the Savior Jesus have nothing to do with the Lord. Those who do not receive the washing of their sins, not the ritual washing of their feet, are not eligible for the Lord's forgiveness of sins. Those who have bathed need only wash their feet! Because those who have experienced the forgiveness of sins and salvation have experienced fundamental changes, he said that it is not necessary to be born again, but to repent and turn back so that sins do not accumulate in our daily lives.
