Daily Cleansing with Jesus

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciple's feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around Him. (John 13:5) the Lord Jesus loves His people so much (us), that everyday He is still doing for them (us) much that is analogous to washing their soiled feet. my poorest actions He accepts; my sorrows He feels; my slenderest wish He hears; and my transgressions He forgives. He is still my servant as well as my Friend and Master. Humbly, patiently, He yet goes about among His people with the basin of towel. He does this when He puts away from us day by day my constant infirmities and sins. it is a great act of eternal love when Christ once for all absolve the sinner, and puts him into the family of God; but what condescending patience there is when the Savior with much long-suffering wears the oft recurring follies of His wayward disciple; day by day, and hour by hour, washing away the multiplied transgressions of His erring but yet beloved child!

Very nice discussion. The other lesson in Jesus washing the disciples feet was to show them they are not to be above those who follow them but they are to serve them just as the example he set.

Hi jingbautista, How come you have so many sins for Jesus to wash away everyday. You said this so I hope you are behaving yourself and hope you did not mean that.

I am so glad you post things like this. There are just times we get so busy and we miss out in thinking about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Can one really imagine what He went through to make sure we are saved? I really wonder about people who are atheist or muslim, they are so missing out in the idea that their lives could be whole and complete with the acceptence of one man's act.
