You really need to meet
The historical figure
Who worked miracles on feet
And allow him to repeat
His miracles on your feet
To get you off of your seat
And walking by His Spirit,
Turning away from defeat
With a heart that’s pure and clean.
(John 13:3-17)

Jesus wants disciples with clean feet (John 13:5) who “walk by the Spirit,” and who don’t dirty their feet and their heart with “the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) Look at your own dirty feet and heart. Jesus humbled Himself so He can wash them and demonstrate for you how His presence and love can flow in and through you (John 7:37-39) and wash the feet and heart of the people you encounter. (John 15:14-17)

Jesus invites you to enjoy the joy of clean feet and a clean heart. “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) Jesus said: “If you keep My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” (John 15:10-11) Enjoy Jesus and have a joyous day today!

Learn to unceasingly rely on Christ in you. (Colossians 1:27) Don’t try to figure Him out. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Continually contemplate Jesus and ponder His presence. Meditate on His word day and night. (Joshua 1:8) Don’t analyze Him. Keep His commandments and every time you step in the dirt of the flesh, immediately let Jesus wash your feet and your heart. (1 John 1:9)

Evangelicalism without Christlike humility and compassion is empty religion. Instead of attracting people to Christ too it often repels them from Him. My “spiritual tribe” is every person world-wide and throughout history who has given their all to humbly and daily follow and obey the risen Jesus Christ and to let His words continually burn in and cleanse their heart!

Perhaps Christians who need titles (or who need Christian leaders to have titles) are trusting too much in outward appearance and not enough in the actual active presence of the risen Jesus. (Matthew 23:5-12) Solely sermon-fed Christians seldom seem to stay focused on seeking first the inner kingdom of God. (Matthew 6:33)
