In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
“Peter said to Him, 'You shall never wash my feet.' Jesus answered him, 'If I do not wash you, you have no share with Me.'” If you will not let Jesus serve you, then you will not receive the benefit of His service. It is that simple.
God comes to mankind to serve us. It has always been that way. Speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus instructs her to ask Him for the living water that will well up in her unto salvation. She believes, albeit after some trepidation and some questioning. Therefore she receives the living water of salvation. The crowds come Jesus to be healed and cured and cleansed and taught. They believe, and their afflictions are taken away. The weary crowds come to Jesus for food, and He feeds them. “Whoever feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life.” Our Lord serves His people not only with the bread and wine of the earth, the perishable stuff that preserves our perishable bodies for a time, but also His own true physical Body and Blood to preserve us now and unto life everlasting.
