It is always fun when you read and reread passages of scripture and something new catches your eye. This happened to me recently when I was on a retreat. I was rereading John 13, a passage about Jesus washing the disciples feet. What caught my attention this time was the last verse of this section of scripture, John 13:7. Here we have a statement from Jesus on how to be blessed. The answer seems quite simple yet complex. We are to do what we know. In The Message it says "If you understand what I am telling you, act like it - and live a blessed life."
So what did Jesus do? He gave Himself for the sake of others. In this passage He humbled Himself and washed the feet of His disciples. A few chapters later we read about Jesus giving His life as payment for our sins. But what about Peter's reaction?
More to come...
