that he wanted his part in Jesus. This is the message I wanna leave 
with you today. Jesus is everything. Jesus is 
worthy. Jesus is significant. Jesus is 
glorious. Jesus is God's son who took on 
our flesh to live for us, to die for us, and to rise again. 
That's what I want you to hear today. Whether you got all the 
foot washing, the emblematic, the symbol, the whatever, just 
get this. Jesus is the best in the universe. Jesus is the best to have. Jesus is the best, and I dare 
say it, possess. We possess Him by faith, He possesses 
us by His grace. He's the best. So when Peter 
is presented with this opportunity to double down yet again and 
refuse, he says, no, wash my feet, wash my hands, wash my 
head, wash everything I have, Lord, why? Because I want my 
part with Jesus. And then Jesus does this. See, that's what's absolutely 
mind-blowing, is that Jesus doesn't just talk like this. Jesus actually 
washed their feet. Jesus actually goes to the cross. Jesus actually washes a great 
multitude that no man can number. And the washing isn't, as I said 
earlier, a spa where you have a pre-treatment with one of the 
inferiors and then send him to the masseuse who's got the mask 
on and is ready to actually get it. It's not that. Listen to 
the apostle in the book of 1 Corinthians. Do you not know that the unrighteous 
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither 
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, 
nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor 
revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. We 
know that, right? In a moral universe, it makes 
perfect sense for God to take guilty sinners and send them 
to everlasting fire. That's not a hard concept. If 
you think for a moment, you see pedophiles today, you see criminals 
today, and what rises up in you? They should be convicted. They 
should be put to death or they should be put in prison. They 
should be dealt with accordingly. This does not surprise anyone. Do you not know that the unrighteous 
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be deceived, neither 
fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, 
covetous, or drunkards, or revilers, or extortioners will inherit 
the kingdom of God. What's surprising is what Paul 
says next. because of what Jesus does, not 
just here in the foot washing, but in the heart washing. He 
says, and such were some of you, but you were washed, you were 
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus 
and by the Spirit of our God. Jesus is everything. Believe 
on Jesus and you will have everything. Your part in Jesus includes every 
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Not just a 
little bit. When he saves you, he saves to 
the uttermost. He's in the business, not just 
of washing dirty feet, but washing dirty hearts.
