As we continue to look to Jesus to “Come Alive,” we’re considering the

layers of meaning in Jesus washing his disciples’ feet in John 13. In spite

of our resistance, Jesus is constantly moving toward us to show us his

strength, his care, and ability to set things right in our lives. His

Spirit is washing us from shame, fear, anxiety, or even just the

disappointment of life.

Are we slowing down enough to let him care for us, and show tenderness to

the more “unsightly” parts of us?
