Peter tries another tack with Jesus. First, he refuses the foot washing. Now he goes to the other extreme and wants more washed. Jesus speaks about salvation and forgiveness. When Jesus saves you, then you are made clean before God. We are clean by the works of Christ, but since we are walking in the sinful world and have the remnant of sin in us, we will need to repent every day. Jesus uses foot washing as an example of this. We are clean through Christ, but we still need continual growth, confession, and repentance in our walk with Him. We do not need a bath, but our feet do need to be washed.
Are you walking with Christ daily? Are you seeking repentance and forgiveness each day for your sins? Are you assured of your salvation because Christ has made you clean?
Consider: 1 John 1:7
