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.
Scripture Reading
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.
Washed, Sanctified, Justified
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.
