1 | Are you forgiven? | Matt 6:15 | Radioman | 15246 | ||
John 13:6-10. If this passage is not about forgiveness, then what in the world was Jesus talking about in verses 8-11, especially verse 10? "Peter . . . spoke up in indignation that Jesus would stoop so low as to wash his feet. He failed to see beyond the humble service itself to the SYMBOLISM of spiritual cleansing involved. (Sound familiar?) Jesus' response made THE REAL POINT of His actions clear: Unless the Lamb of God cleanses a person's sin (i.e., as portrayed in the SYMBOLISM of washing), one can have no part with Him. "The cleansing that Christ does at salvation never needs to be repeated -- atonement is complete at that point. But all who have been cleansed by God's gracious justification need constant washing in the experiential sense as they battle sin in the flesh. Believers are justified and granted imputed righteousness, but still need sanctification and personal righteousness" (Emphasis added. 1997, Word Publishing). |
