Daniel’s Easter Adventure

Washing Feet

Why foot washing? Couldn’t Jesus have suggested something easier like hand washing or face washing?

But Jesus not only commanded that we wash one another’s feet: He humbled Himself to wash ours first.

It is a strange thing how washing feet shows Jesus that we love him and the world that He loves them! He washes us to prepare our feet to walk onto heaven’s holy ground. We wash one another to prepare each other to walk into the world and share the love of Christ.

With Lent on the horizon this is a good time to ask, “Am I ready and willing to wash someone’s feet today?”

Waiting to Run

Waiting for God is not like waiting for the train. It is no more passive than Usain Bolt waiting to begin a race. It is a race he has prepared for mentally, physically and emotionally. In the silence of the breathe before the starter’s gun there is a waiting power. All the passion to run the steps that lead to the finish line fill his heart as he waits knowing that victory lies ahead. How much more should we as children who run toward heaven’s finish line wait with joy to run our race.

Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Psalms 19:5 NKJV
