Bible Question: what does this have to do with sin in the life of a believer? i dont understand . im new to this website. thanks |
Bible Answer: You might say it can be compared to washing and re-washing our soul and our conscience in the cleansing blood of our Lord, like that depicted in the Jewish practice of sacrificing animals. His blood and God's Grace is the ONLY thing that can possibly enable you, me and the rest of the world go to Heaven. I'm inferring a lot from the last four words, "but not all of you." But there again, it could be the Lord's main point here in this story is a simple demonstration of His INFINITE humility. Savior of the whole world about to go through the most horrible event in His entire existance, be separated from His Father and take on the sins of the whole world, a world that doesn't love or even like Him. And He takes time out to wash these guys' feet. What a God!! What humility!! What do you think it means? God bless. --Rowdy PS: I seem to always forget...Welcome to the Forum.
