Today I was reading my Bible and paused in reflection at a familiar passage....
Jesus washing the disciples’ feet.
Including Judas.
Knowing full well what was coming.
Knowing betrayal was already in motion.
And still, He knelt.
As I sat with that moment, my mind kept going back to Peter.
Impulsive. Passionate. All-in.
“Lord,” Peter said, “not just my feet, but my hands and my head as well.”
In other words: Wash all of me. I want every part covered.
Jesus’ response stopped me this time.
“He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; he is completely clean.”
The feet were enough.
Not because Peter didn’t love Him deeply...but because Jesus already had done the work. Salvation was already complete. Sin already covered. Clean...not by effort, but by grace.
Washed white.
Spotless.
Only the Lamb can do that.
And yet… I couldn’t stop thinking about Peter.
Because I’m a lot like him.
I don’t want surface-level faith.
I don’t want just a quiet belief tucked neatly into a corner of my life.
I want to be fully immersed.
Sold out.
Let them call me a Jesus freak.
I want it to be obvious who I follow.
At first, I thought this passage meant: Don’t stop at the feet, Lord. Wash all of me.
Live it all out. Give Him everything.
But maybe I saw it a little differently this time.
Jesus wasn’t saying, “Don’t go deeper.”
He was saying, “What I’ve done is enough.”
Salvation in Jesus is enough.
Dwelling in Him is enough.
Abiding, sharing His Word, living it out...flows from what’s already been finished.
And still… I find myself echoing Peter’s heart.
Lord, wash all of me...not because I need more salvation, but because I want my whole life to reflect You.
May we be people who know His grace is enough,
and still choose to live fully surrendered.
Sold out.
All in.
Carrying out the Great Commission with hearts that belong completely to Him.
