Not my Feet Only
Living Scripture
John 13:8-9 KJV
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. [9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
Feet Washing is very scriptural and spiritual, it should be done with a pure heart, clean hands by a willing heart ready to serve God's children just as our Lord Jesus did with the twelve. It is not a job for the prideful but for servant-leaders and disciples. It signifies both spiritual and physical acceptance into the body of Christ, a lawful entrance into Him to partake of His glory and power. Physically washing your feet shows cleanliness, and readiness to enter new grounds. In the Jewish tradition it also serves as acceptance into one's home.
Simon Peter felt he was honoring the Lord by refusing Christ Jesus to wash his feet. Which meant he was not willing to enter into service with Christ, be cleaned and free in the house of the Lord. This is called ignorance of service - but Jesus Christ educated him on the importance of true service as a child of God and a partaker of His glory. The disciples were not aware of the deliverance Christ did for them, the dust of their past was washed away, chains of stagnation and limitations broken for them to gain freedom to walk into greatness. Many have been tied down this way in life but right now you are free in the name of Jesus Christ.
Many children of God today are ignorant of this verse and display religious actions rather than understanding the principal truth. Our Lord Jesus came closer to His disciples not minding His worth and might but he came to introduce them to kingdom secrets which was not done or shared with the multitudes. A disciple of God is not an ordinary church goer but one who follows after Christ whole heartedly. When Peter knew the essence of feet-washing he said "not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. He was willing to be totally washed.
