The True Meaning of Jesus Washing The Disciples' Feet

- This is one of my favorite Bible passages. I still remember when I was reading it and trying to figure out what sort of special meaning there was behind the actions of Jesus, and it hit me. I'm excited to get to share it with you. I'm not the first to discover this but it sure is a wonderful discovery! Today's study is from John 13, where Jesus humbles himself and washes the disciples' feet.
I'm Mike Winger and my passion is helping people learn to think biblically about everything because the Bible is more brilliant, beautiful and life-changing than the world knows.

So AMAZING! I never thought of the towel getting dirty and representing Him taking the sin onto Himself. The Bible’s hidden nuggets are so wonderful. Thank you for this!
Right? neither did i
Yeah I never saw it that way either! That was pretty awesome, its amazing how you can read something so many times and miss something that after the fact seems so obvious! 😃

@@TheBestLife2184 we are being hugely changed by our walk with Christ everyday which has nothing to do with politics.
@@melz3671 God often worked through his people. The bible says faith without works is dead. Imagine if we all quit our jobs and just prayed for our housing and food. Now imagine if we do no works to stop evil people.

The election was obviously stolen by RINO judges who teamed with Democrat judges to not hear any of the 80 or so cases of election cheating. Massive cheating happened, including corrupted voting machine software.
We have criminals running our nation now.
When Jesus saw money changers working at the temple, he tipped over their tables and flogged them. The bible says those fake Roos (
Mike Winger in his teaching is awesome the way he keeps his mind open. The way he understands new believes and the world around us. What we think and what’s being told to us. Love what he’s doing...
I always wondered if Jesus washed Judas’ feet. Even after he knew Satan had changed his heart to betray Him. To even wash the feet of his betrayer shows His love. Thanks for this video Mike ! I have learned so much from you.
Isn't it so beautiful. I mean Jesus knew Judas would betray him and he still gave him a kiss on the cheek (the way Judas would betray Him). Jesus's love for us is so undeliverable and being reminded of these little things in the Bible is so refreshing. It makes me fall on my knees and just worship my God because He saved us from all our sin
Jason - I was typing my comment and glanced down and saw you had already addressed the very issue I was going to comment on. It's a question that - if we stop and really think about it - leads to a whole steam of questions about the symbolism of Christ washing his betrayer's feet. Was it symbolizing that he was forgiving Judas for what he was about to do? I'd llove to hear Mike's thoughts on the subject. It reminds me that I am to forgive the "sins"/wrongdoings of others that hurt me - even if they continue to do it. I admit, that's very difficult for me to do and something I need to pray about and work on.
Jesus gave him so many chances. His grace his beyond any human imagination. We are so blessed to be his children
@@Robin-sf3gk I always felt sorry for Judas. He was preordained to betray Christ. He had no free will. He had to do it. Here was a man who gave up everything to follow and learn from Jesus for 3 years. He believed because he went out with the other deciples and preached and performed miracles (when Jesus sent them 2 by 2). But he was chosen to be the one to turn Jesus over to the priests. So - could he have sought forgiveness for this act? Did he have the ability to not do it? He was obviously sorry - he killed himself. So is Judas in hell? He HAD to do it to fulfill prophecy and cause Christ's capture and death. Could he have repented? Is his soul damned to hell beause he was used to fufill the plan? If he had no free will ..... did he ever have the ability to refuse to do it? So many questions. I don't think God creates some people to go to heaven and others to go to hell. We ALL have the abbility to choose. But, that choice was taken away from Judas. He was a pawn in the plan. That really bothers me. It doesn't seem to fit.
@@threadsofhope1435 no that‘s not biblical!God is not a rapist who compels his creation!
I’ve never seen another pastor that spends so much time studying and preparing content. Man thank you for putting in the time and careful preparation.
Brother. I don't know anybody else who does Bible studies and I think to myself, "The world would be a better place if more Christians thought like this." This is something I think we all need to hear. Thank you.
The quality of this teaching and the humble way it is presented is why people subscribe and love this channel. Thanks Mike for such great teaching.
Amazing how much meaning is crammed into such a short passage of scripture. I passed over this a few times but what you have shown me tonight just reminds me that everything is about Him.
I just want to say how much of a blessing your teaching has been in my life. I want to ask for prayers for our small church due to COVID our attendance has drop to around 10. I just pray that we can continue to do Gods will in our community. Please keep sharing what the Lord has laid on your heart.
Thank you , you always make me think and read my bible more open eyed . The word of God is enough and doesn’t need to be jazzed up . You’re ministry is appreciated.
This is amazing! I was reading this last night. The fullness of what this means didn't hit me until I watched this video. God bless you!!!!!
Wow, such a great teaching. I’ve heard this passage preached tons of times, but this was so much more insightful and helpful than anything I’ve heard before. Thank you, Pastor Mike!
I love the teachings you give. I am a faithful listener. Your teachings really do cause us to think, I love that. Blessings brother!
I used to go to a Mennonite church that had a yearly "full-communion", meaning communion, foot-washing, and pot-luck dinner (Love Feast). Another woman and I would agree to wash each other's feet, to avoid embarrassment, and it was a good experience. It's very intimate and humbling, as someone has to work on your ugly toes! A good image of servanthood.
Blessings Pastor Mike. I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last month. I always heard about you but I never clicked on any of your videos (don’t know why lol) but I’m sure glad I did because you’re an amazing teacher. Love u brother ✝️🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥👑⚔️💯
All the best for your mum!!!!! I hope she is ok. I won't question you today (LOL) because you need to be there for your mum. Lots of love to you and your mum. Give her all the time you need. She is your mum .
"There are no cliches in Christianity, just wonderful truths people say with empty hearts". Profound, brother.
wow God spoke to me through you! ive been harboring bitterness and unforgiveness towards my dad and it’s been something constantly on my mind recently. today’s video was beautiful and it’s just so incredible that God hears our prayers and uses all his vessels to answer those prayers and work in the coolest ways! have faith and keep praying!
I always felt this was to humble ourselves as Christ humbled himself. I was raised in a church where we washed feet ( after taking communion) and it was, to me, so humbling, and made do a self check.
The Lord gave my small group revelation that the washing of feet is about the forgiveness of sin..
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
Thanks Brother Mike, you really are a man after God's heart. The garment discard is such a revelation to me. Praise Jesus!
I grew up in a church that took communion several times a year and would then wash feet once a year or so. The men and women would separate, take communion and then bring out basins and linens and wash each other’s feet. There would be singing and preaching going on at the same time, it was a small church, about 75-100 folks, and around 75% of us were related, lol, but those were some special services and memories. It was so humbling, it was so much harder to have your feet washed than it was to wash another’s feet. We would all be in tears, men and women. Idk if if’s one of those things we’re “supposed” to do, I just know it is an unforgettable experience. It brings you very close as a congregation, and makes you feel close to God.
Ok this is CRAZY! These last two weeks at my church their theme is based on John 13 - robes and towels. And you just happen to stray from Mark and do a teaching on this passage in al the bible. Wow! Praise God.
Also literally just watched the episodes from Remnant Radio with Dean Davis on end times - mind blowing stuff Mike I think this would be super useful for you leading up to next week and your survey of end times views. Amazing how well his view flows!

I’m always in awe how much Jesus loves us! He truly shows us an amazing love! Brings tears to my eyes and I’m so very grateful for that true love!
OK I am saving this !!! I only made it through the reading portion and I’m about to cry. Wow this is the most beautiful thing and I’ve never even seen it like this before. I want to come back to this when I have time to really take it all in. It’s currently 0100(am)&I better go to sleep. Thank you so much for sharing this I know I’m super late. God bless God bless.❤
Jesus’ love was narrated: verse 1 “he loved them”
It was taught: verses 5-12 - washing the feed
It was commanded: verse 34 “love one another”
It was demonstrated: on the cross
Thank you for this!!! You brought up a good point at the end where you spoke about how the first churches had church functions and that washing feet was not included.
I will continue to wash feet, not as a salvation issue, but as a way to continue fellowship with our church members.
To anyone that doesnt wash feet, I encourage you to give it a try! It's so humbling and a way to show love to your sisters in Christ (or brothers).
I always enjoy your teachings Pastor Mike. I hope and pray your mom is doing well.
Brother.. I was brought to a deep dive of this event King Jesus did. If I were raising my sons with what I know now, what a great way to teach this to your children every day in the evening of their days journey and experience. Shake the dust and wash their feet and set an atmosphere of forgiveness and remembrance of our Savior.
I think Peter saying "you shall never wash me" represents people rejecting Christ in their arrogance and misunderstanding as well. Does anyone else see that?
I needed this thank you so much. It's been rough for us all and this was definitely something that needed to be refreshed in my mind. God bless you all.
Saying a profound truth with an empty heart sounds like a cliche... oof! I feel that from an entire childhood in the Anglican Church where the water is dry.
no one judge on another,seek the lord alone dont look to the others the Lord himself looking at them,we all sinners and its only our effort to seek the truth
Dry water excellent oxymoron
@@samone1382 hello brother. Yes we are not to judge outsiders or judge willy nilly. But the Bible is clear that there is a time when we judge those inside the church. Mike has taught about that as well. Now it is with righteous judgement to protect the holiness of God's people and not over silly things but for instance if there is an unrepentant adulterer in the church we are to judge that and excommunicated them (this is done to bring them to repentance).
Here are some verses.
*"For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” -1 Corinth 5:12-13
*"Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” John 7:24
*"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." Matt 18:15-17
* "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing."
1 Corinthians 5:1-3
-in order to expel someone from the church there first has to be righteous judgement.
I just wanted to clear it up because many think Christians are to NEVER judge. But the Bible says we are not to judge non Christians but we are to judge other Christians with holy righteous judgement to protect the church and help bring that person to repentance. Now it's done with a very serious heart but it is to be when the time calls for it.
God bless.
thinking about how humble Jesus is mind blowing ....always get teary eyed at the thought
Thanks Mike, just what I needed when I needed it. I felt like I'd been walking close to the Lord and recently out of the blue an old enemy tripped me up. Thought I'd defeated pornography years back but I fell one m'ore time. I couldn't pray, couldn't do anything but feel unworthy, a fraud and dirty. I needed to hear I am clean cause I sure haven't been feeling like it. Praise God the one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet. Thanks for the word. God bless you and your ministry.
Thank you, Mike Winger, for this wonderful teaching
I was listening pretty good until you said that it wasn't necessary to wash feet today. everything in the Bible is relevant for today. I recently experienced a foot-washing twice in one week I have been a Christian for over 30 years. the experience is still unfolding in my heart. I highly recommend this humble Act
Brilliant, this is the kind of thing that should be taught weekly in church. Real dissection of the bible. Thanks Mike for doing the hard work so we don’t have to😊
Wow. Thank you! 😭❤️🔥 the gospel in the illustration of Jesus washing His disciples feet.
It blows my mind how much more there is to these story's I know from the bible. Thank you for helping me to understand.
I never fully understood this passage of scripture. Thank you so much for this clear and thorough explanation!
My daughter and I are in dwelt by the Holy Spirit, so Jesus lives in us. He is Lord over our lives. Recently we all fell very sick after the Lord led me to anoint our home. I was sitting on the couch with our daughter and my Bible in total agony and anxiety. I opened up the Bible on this passage and I felt the Holy Spirit lead me to wash each others feet. I said to her, if Jesus lives in you and I then Jesus will wash our feet. So we filled the bathtub foot level with some Espom salts and we washed and dried each other feet. The congestion immediately broke and I felt such deep peace and comfort rush into me. I think it’s a very beautiful symbolic thing to do and it was also very healing for my mind and body and spirit. I feel with all my heart Jesus did this so they wouldn’t all fall apart during the traumatic events that were to take place. He did this to put peace and love in their hearts. He honors our love for Him.
Don’t just read the Bible, do what it says.
Churches have been doing the, 'foot washing show' for years, and I will get up and walk out every time.
The foreshadowing in the Bible is deep, and if you only read and interpret from today's perspective, you are missing out on so much. Jesus was clearly removing all of the dirt(sin) from the disciples feet, indicating his future taking on the sins of us all.
Thanks Mike, for bringing the deeper meaning of this scripture to light. I've taught this for 20 years, and have been told that I was wrong, that it's only about taking care of each other.
Thank you Mike. This story is often just glanced over. This is a thoughtful wonderful picture of Jesus and his life, and it has blown me away. May God continue to use you to teach us .....
This was such a touching and powerful teaching that it brought me to tears. It was beautiful. Thank you.
Now I share in your excitement about this scripture, and I too am blessed. I say this not as a cliché, but may God bless you for bringing this message in such a beautiful way. My love for Jesus grows because of videos like this.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been reading John 13 over and over for about a week, and just *knew* I was missing something. Then two days after I watch your video and it all falls into place!
Jesus is so beautiful!
What a beautiful chapter, tear jerker forsure. 😩 but yet so beautiful. Our saviour did all that and continues to do that for us. (Shocked to be honest and completely amazed at the character of God) ❤️
I'm blown away by Jesus' love and humiliation. That he the king of kings sitting on his throne would humble himself so low as to wash our sin. Wash our most shameful parts of the heart, the parts that we don't even want to see ourselves. He wants to enter our darkness and wash us and bring life. And he does all this from his enormous heart and love for us. Jesus wants to wash your feet, will you let him wash them?
The Lord bless you, brother Mike! You don't know how much we are so deeply blessed with you teaching so clearly and faithfully, even fearfully of God's word❤️ this is such an important teaching that the Lord has led and empowered you to share with us, I am truly, truly grateful for you and your ministry! The Lord bless you and your house many times over for your kind and generous services to the body of Christ 😊
Thank you. This has opened my eyes to people to people who have hurt me...
Praying for your family and church!
This was really good Mike! I am prepping to teach a class on John 13 this Sunday and you gave me many more things to think about than I had uncovered.
Me, too :)
This teaching will make the Love you have forJesus even deeper. Oh I am learning that this or that hardship in others or self doesn't need to be interpretation immediately.
"Keep short accounts with God"
Eternally wise Mike.
@Mike Winger. Excellent teaching!! Love that you showed connection with Phil 2. There's also a connection by example of humility between the 2. Phil 2 Let us have the same mindset as Christ, He emptied himself and became the servant of His equal. We are not greater than our Master we should serve our equals. Then in John 13 He serves His own servants. Even moreso if God Himself serves His servants His servants should definitely serve each other.
Love your teachings!
This was beautiful. Thank you brother Mike. Prayers for your mum and family. God bless you all always. Jesus is Lord.
I feel like Peter all the time...not in a good way. But not thinking Jesus would possibly wash my feet, as I'm such a wretch. Denying him at times before I even think about it. Wanting to take up the sword when it's not God's plan. This was such a great teaching. Thanks Mike.
We are studying the Gospel of John in Community Bible Study (CBS) and John 13 is the topic for next week. Thanks for your thoughts; I always appreciate the insight!
Mike, you left out a passage that mentions foot washing. In 1 Timothy 5:9-10, on the enrollment of widows for finacial help, she had to have "washed the feet of the saints." For today, I take this as someone who was willing to serve others in the church not rejecting any task as beneath her. Things like scrubbing toilets, changing diapers, cleaning up after a sick person, etc. We should be willing to do any necessary task to serve others. Thanks for this great video!
Thank you Mike for your teaching. It is always edifying to me! One thought that I would add for your consideration is that the condition of a 1st century foot is a metaphor for the human condition. Calloused feet, Calloused hearts; soreness and tiredness perhaps brokenness; disease, scars, perhaps shame, etc. Jesus will wash and heal it all if we will simply allow him. Praise God! Blessings to you and yours!
Glory hallelujah to our Heavenly Father.
Matthew 22:37💕
Beautiful teaching bro Mike! Wow! More in love with my Jesus!! Tears of joy over here!❤❤
Have never heard this shared in this way, blessed to hear it!
Wow this was fantastic. Just incredible.
@Mike Winger
I love what you said about the feet washing around the 25 minute mark, Mike!
Might I also suggest. Since the world "belongs" to Satan and we as Christians are called to go into the sinful places, the sinful cities and sinful towns and call out the lost to Christ.
The washing of the feet could not only refer to our own sin we collect on our walk, but also the sin from the places we are called to preach and the dirt that we collect from those places. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil, but there is "dirt" that we collect by being so near to such awful sin (some worse than others).
So, the washing of the feet cleans our sin and it also cleans off what we have collected spiritually, just from being human beings as we go out to ungodly places to bring God to them.
When I read this, I thought of Moses when he was going to the burning bush. God told Moses to take his sandals off, because where he would be standing was Holy ground.
The dirt stuck to the bottom of Moses' sandals was not Holy ground, so God was not willing to let him track it in with him.
Moses' feet were okay to walk on Holy ground, but not the dirt from his sandals which came from where he had travelled.
I also think of the verse where we are to leave that home or town and "shake the dust off our feet"
Our walk will bring us through some dirty places, but Jesus keeps our feet clean, like he kept Moses' feet clean.
I so needed this today! Thank you Pastor Mike!!
Arghhh! His word is FULL of treasure! I’m so grateful for Jesus!!!
Washing the feet is necessary because we walk in a dirty world. Pick up each other's spiritual burdens and be ready to forgive is what I think this passage means. That ceremony is not physical, it is spiritual, it is helping our brother or sister to be clean or to remain clean by our love for them and our encouragement as we walk our christian life. It is not the physical dirt we are concerned about but the spiritual dirt we pick up on our daily walk.
Right on. And Paul expands in 1 Corinthians 6.
When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers,but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?But you yourselves wrong and defraud-even your own brothers!Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
What a beautiful message, glad I was watching at home so I could cry like a baby and no one could see me hahaha!
Thank you brother for sharing truth with the Holy Spirit illuminating those truths to cause our hearts to desire Him and serve Him by loving His own. He willingly humbled Himself to the role of servant, and thus led by example, not as a task master. I love how we read in Ephesians 5:25-26 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word," This washing of the word brings the sanctifying work of Christ over our lives. Cleansing us from sin, and the world's contaminating ways that cling to our flesh.
As you rightly stated, that forgiveness should be our approach and attitude to one another. And when we speak the truth in love to one another, perhaps a specific Bible verse at an appropriate time and in the right context will impart that washing one to another. Perhaps that would fit with Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." So this 'feet washing' would happen in moments when the word of God is sung or spoken in our hearing and a cleansing takes place.
I remember a time, when ministering in a small house gathering, after reading and speaking God's word to a small group of believers. I went over to one brother who had fallen asleep while I was speaking. He was sitting in a sunny area, but what he said to me in a deep sincere way was encouraging. He simply said, "John, I feel so clean." Basically I had been reading the Bible, quoting certain Scriptures and preaching a little. I thank God for showing me, this is one specific way in which 'feet washing' is done. God bless you Mike as you serve Our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.
I was particularly edified by something Mike talks about at about the 26 minute mark. Regarding why the feet. I had had the same thoughts about how as believers, we are just visiting here, and are future citizens of heaven. It also makes me think of the passage when apostles went to preach and an entire town rejected them, to shake the dust from their feet. its sorta typology for being IN the world, but not OF the world, I think.
And I love the way Mike ties all these things together, the exchange Jesus had with Peter, and also the humbleness of John the Baptist. Well heck, I was edified by the entire video!
Thanks AGAIN, Mike Winger! GBY!
I am discovering that there is a tradition among some Christian couples planning their weddings, to include washing each others' feet, ceremoniously. I actually was searching YT to find out if this was perhaps an aspect of the Galilean Wedding typology, or a newer wedding tradition.
We will be blessed if we wash each others feet.

"Wow," sums up how this talk reached me. Thank you.
Mike, this was fantastic! I absolutely love eschatology, BUT i love Jesus more.
Thanks for revealing Him to us all the time.
It's all about helping by being a servant to another believer who needs their mess in their walk cleaned... washing with the water of the WORD. We are HIS hands & and feet, and WE need each other.
Thanks for your session well put over Mr Mike Winger may God 🙏 blessed in Jesus Christ almighty powerful name Amen 🙏🙏🙏
31:31 I am blown away by it!!
amazing that the lord washed the feet of betrayers, denyers, those that wouldnt associate with him. shows we wash the feet of everyone! even our enemies and those we have aught with...so great a lesson. thats how the world will know we are christians by this love!
We are doing this study of washing of the feet this week from max lucado John study. Thank you
Soooo blessed by ur videos. Love you sooooo much sir❤️❤️ From India
There were signs and rumors of a teaching of eschatology- many said it would be today. It turns out they were false profits! 😂 The end time teaching is still to come.
Thank you for this…. This was truly amazing 🙌🏽
I’m excited for what you’re planning to do with the eschatology next week!
Thank you! Glory to God for truth! Sanctify us by your truth
Mike , when Christ washed his disciples feet, in short that was a bout leadership not washing dirty feet .
One of the core principles of leadership being a servant.
WOW! I never knew any of this about this passage. I don’t think I’d ever heard it exegetes before. Amazing.
Pastor, thank you so much for your messages which are both convicting and encouraging.
We all need to go to church and do confession if not you’re disobeying Our lord Jesus ❤🙏🏼
Praise God for you Pastor Mike.
I've never heard it explained so clearly. Thanks Mike!
He didn't come to be served, but to serve!
The most beautiful, and most prescient memories I have as a child, was that of washing the feet of men I loved.
A recent thought I had about feet washing and the symbolism to where Jesus says for us to wash each other’s feet, is partially like you said, we are clean by Jesus’ blood but when we walk in this world we sin and get our feet dirty, and we need to go to Jesus always to get our feet clean OR as for forgiveness and become clean again. To me that says that we need to take off our outer garments ( symbolically, who we are in the outside to people, and be transparent with each other, humble ourselves) and wash each other’s feet , meaning listen to each other’s burdens and sins and pray for one another and ask one another for forgiveness. In summary, to minister to one another and encourage with the Word of God. Just like Jesus’ words cleaned then before, we remind each other what Gods Word says and help each other set things right in our hearts. This was difficult to explain. I hope it made sense.
I would like to hear your response to this Mike. Thank you.
Powerful teaching! Thank you pastor Mike 👌🏽🙌🏽
Oh WOW!!! Thank for this indepth look at the meaning and significance to this scripture🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for providing clarity , understanding and meaning
Thank you Sir.
For this Teaching.
Be Blessed 🙏🏿
🙌🏿💟🙌🏿
Such a great video! Thank you 🙏
Thank you Mike! Glory to God!!
I think washing of the feet in todays age should be necessary. People hardly have pure physical contact with each other. So many people act as though others god-given bodies are a biohazard. Therefore so much insecurity, so much depression. It's humbling and also very loving. It connects us closer to each other. That is much needed especially now.
Very nice topic study. For me it's the little details that mean so much. Thank you. Ya, the grace thing and feeling not good enough is really hard.
Thanks for the info and understanding
Be Blessed
I believe that there are two things going on here. One is the forgiveness of sin that you are pointing out. Yes, but we must remember that we only forgive sins that hurt us, unless we are a pastor/priest to whom one confesses. The other, you briefly glossed over, is to wash off the dust of this world, reminding each other that we must not keep any attachments to worldly things. This we should do regularly, perhaps twice each year at the beginning of Lent and at Three Kings (Jan. 6th), to show that we are willing to give up good things in this world to honor Him. It can also be a sign of repentance, as when Jesus said to shake the dust off of the Apostles' sandals if the towns did not receive the Gospel. We are leaving behind that life that wouldn't acknowledge Jesus as Lord. So, (1) it's confession and repentance for forgiveness, and (2) it's shaking off the worldly attachments that hinder our walk with Jesus, and reminding others to do the same. These are like the two sides of one coin. When we offer them to Jesus, He gives us his hand of friendship in return.
