In our culture, footwashing doesn’t “pack the same punch” that it did in Jesus’ day. This is precisely why Jesus provided footwashing only as an example rather than a sacrament to be repeated. Pastor Foley examines the principles found in the John 13 footwashing that can be used to inform our own modern-day reigning opportunities.

With these thoughts fresh in my head, I sang: “Sovereign Lord… you made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,” (Acts 4:24 )
“This is my Father’s world,
And to my list’ning ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world,
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world:
He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world,
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied” and did some housework for mom. Thanks 🙂 🙂
Do the Word 
Well said 🙂 🙂
