Salvation comes from what Jesus does for us, not what we do for Him. This is shown in Peter’s response to the foot washing. Peter tells Jesus, “You will never wash my feet.” We can understand on one level what Peter is saying, yet he is dead wrong. To be saved, we have to do more than have our feet washed. We have to have Jesus take away our sin.
There is a humility that must come as we see our sin and what is deserved, but then see Jesus’ love for us. Have you humbled yourself and accepted Christ as your Savior and Lord? Do you see that Christ has come to save you through the cross? God’s great love for sinners like you is humbling!
Consider: John 3:16-17
