During Lent, we at First United Methodist in Hickory have been walking through a "W" series: Waiting, Welcoming, Water, Who, What, and Wow! This message is the third of the series: Water. In this message, we discuss Jesus washing the disciples feet. It's a story that makes me squirm a little because it's a very personal moment between Jesus and the disciples. And it makes me uncomfortable because Jesus says we should wash others' feet, and, well...that makes me uncomfortable. I feel like I'm being too up close and personal. Maybe I don't understand what Jesus is really saying. Peter, one of the disciples, didn't understand either. He flip-flops in his attitude between protesting against it and asking Jesus to wash more than just his feet. What does Jesus really mean? What does he want for us to do today with this? Let's dive into the Water of Relationships.
Until next time...
