This was Peter’s past training and habit kicking in. Peter knew he had to wash his hands, head, and feet to be clean. Jesus refused him, informing him that if you took a bathe you didn’t need to wash the “whole body.” The feet got dirty walking around in sandals on dirty, dusty roads.

Thanks, Gregg! I always love when I can find connections from the earliest of the Old Testament to the oldest of the New Testament. Sometimes, it's just a big 'duh' moment when God says, "See, I set it up this way, so you'd get it!" :o) Thanks for sharing. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see how the OT points to Christ and the Cross.
ReplyDeleteAmen to your thanksgiving today. The Lord is good!
Thank you again Gregg for this message regarding the Word of God. God's Word cleanses the soul and refreshes the mind so we are able to continue to do His will. Blessings my brother in Christ. Lloyd
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this very thing earlier in the week. Thanks for the reminder to stay in the word.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and inspirational as always.

Hi Past Gregg,
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post, drawing a parallel from the old to the new testament. Thanks for reminding us that we are washed clean by the word of God. Jesus said it is His Word that makes us clean in John 17. Boy am I glad I'm washed clean by the blood of Jesus!

Thank you for this lesson on the laver and for your kind comments on my blog today:
ReplyDelete"it is much easier to take time to be busy than it is to take time to be holy."
So true, and I seem to need constant reminding of this.
Blessings brother!
