Knowledge is not enough. Discipleship is not just about knowing. Discipleship is about practicing and doing. Verses 1 to 17 tell the story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. Washing feet in this culture was a radical act of hospitality and love. In verse 14 Jesus tells his disciples to wash each other's feet just like He has washed their feet. As we are recipients of God's hospitality and love, we are also to be givers of radical hospitality and love. In verse 17 Jesus says: You know these things—now do them! That is the path of blessing.
- Think about somebody you can show radical hospitality and love to this week. Make a plan on how that is going to happen.
- Pray for the knowledge to learn the teachings of Christ and the wisdom to follow His teachings.
- Prepare to be a blessing to others and to be blessed by God.
