( These feet belong to my oldest boy.Every now and then I let one of my kids stay up late and I wash there feet. The church I attended, when I was very young, practiced this. I gained so much from that experience and so wanted to share it with my children.)
Christ said if we forgive people they are forgiven. Confessing one to another is so important. Serving our brother or sister by letting them confess to us is so important…
I am less and less inclined to see my relationship with Christ as a personal one… it is and isn’t… community is also, and perhaps more, important then the personal relationship idea.
(My youngest daughters turn getting a foot washing.)
Confess one to another the good, sure… we don’t really struggle there, but also the bad… vulnerability brings about more intimate relationships and the fact is we are already intimately connected through Christ, he calls us his BODY for crying out loud, it can’t get much closer then that! We are just in so much denial about how connected we really are… we are fighting ourselves…
