He washed their feet

The tradition in those days was for the lowest person in the room to wash the feet of those who entered a room after a journey because sandals did not afford a complete covering for the feet.

Jesus was demonstrating a form of admonishment to His disciples to show them their arrogance and how they should humble themselves from the high place with the willingness to at times take the low place. [Some of the humility and humbleness that is spoken of in 2Chronicles 7:14]

Jesus was also giving them a visual representation of His love.

He washed their feet to make them remember and realize: We are here to serve God and each other. And that He also was a servant; that He was humble.

He even washed the feet of the man that was about to betray Him. By washing Judas feet, He showed that He had forgiven Judas for what he had done.

Jesus knew that it was God's will for him to die. And he knew that he couldn't be disobedient.

Truth vs lies

Truth is so obscured nowadays and lies so well established... that unless we love the truth we shall never recognize it.

The Lord's Prayer

Genade

Here, ek voel regtig nie elke dag ewe geloofsterk nie.
Male sonder tal wonder ek selfs of ek nog enigsins op die regte pad is.
Maar dankie my Here dat U my vandag weer wil verseker dat U getrou aan my bly... selfs wanneer ek nie is nie;
dat U my vooruitgan...
selfs wanneer ek nie die weg sien nie;
en dat U by my is;
veral wanneer ek U nie voel nie.

Meer en meer besef ek hoe afhanklik ek van U is, U nimmereindige genade.

Gaan ek in my leeftyd ooit die grootheid van U genade verstaan Here? Help my om dit nooit weer te misbruik nie, dat ek die krag en die werklikheid; die prys wat U daarvoor betaal het altyd sal verstaan, brand dit vas in my mense-hart Here.

Dankie dat ek weet dat die eindbestemming van my geloof nie vandag is nie.
Maar dat dit die ewigheid is.

Saving Grace

Family

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.

He said, 'Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still..

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken..
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'

By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.

'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'

I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'

I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

He does!!
