Can you imagine a close family member washing your feet? Yes. Walang problema dyan.
How about an officemate or your classmate? Well, maybe. Pero pili lang, hindi lahat. How about someone superior? Can you imagine your boss or your teacher washing your feet? Nah, maybe not. Kahiya naman. That would be too embarrassing.
Can you imagine Jesus washing your feet?
Peter could not. He was shocked when Jesus approached him with that intention. That’s why he said “You will never wash my feet.” (John 13:8).
But Jesus proceeded & explained to him that "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."
Peter agrees & Jesus proceeds to wash his feet clean.
REPENT. That’s the first step. We need to agree & accept Jesus. We need to turn away from our sins. Dapat isuko natin ang buhay natin sa Kanya.
RINSE. That’s the next process. Jesus will washed not only the dirt of our feet. He will wash our souls clean. He sanctifies us through His blood.
"Therefore, brothers, since through the blood of Jesus we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary” - Hebrews 10:19
But what if I fall again? What if I give in to temptation?
Then REPEAT the first step. Go before God again and ask for forgiveness. They say it takes 21 days to develop a habit. You have to keep on doing something for 21 days before it becomes automatic. Repetition is key. Well, it takes more than 21 days to a saint. Pero possible yan. WITH GOD ANYTHING IS. You will be a new creation in God. Jesus says “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelations 21:5)
REPENT, RINSE & REPEAT if necessary.
Kahit gaano kadumi ng buhay mo, handa si Hesus na linisin ito. Ang tanong ay handa ba tayo na lumapit sa Kanya?
Have a blessed Holy Thursday! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
