Peter is doing at this point what is socially fitting.
He did not want his Master to wash his feet.
Jesus’ response must be looked at in a deeper level.
To have part with Jesus means literally to share things with Him.
Part of this includes self denial in accepting death on a cross.
Jesus was saying unless you accept what was going to happen on the cross, there could be no relationship.
Unless the Lamb of God has cleansed us, taken away our sin, he or she can have no part with Him.
Having part (meros) is having to do with an inheritance.
Luke 1
In Jewish thought, it has to do with eschatological blessings.
Did Peter fully understand?
Probably not, but he wanted to be linked with Jesus.
The truest humility is to receive in reverence and with thanks, the gift of grace.
To have part of Christ or to be associated in Christ means to be partakers WITH Christ.
Allowing Christ to wash us means we yield to His direction, we trust Him to make us clean.
Matthew Henry said, “We cannot partake of His glory if we partake not of His merit and righteousness, and of His Spirit and Grace.
Why did Peter give an opposite answer to what he gave before?
Peter says to not just wash his feet, but his hands and his head as well.
Why do you think that Peter did this?
1 Thessalonians
John 13:1
The footwashing is a symbol here of a once-and-for-all act.
Because of the cross, Jesus has provided for us a cleansing that is above all other cleansings.
Jesus washes all our sins away.
Once you accept the cleansing of Jesus, you are clean.
There is also the symbolism of a daily cleansing.
The custom of the day would have had the disciples already bathed before supper and their feet dirty as a result of walking over to the place where they ate.
We pray in the Lord’s prayer, “Forgive our debts...” This indicates the idea of a daily cleansing.
Jesus adds, “though not not every one of you.”
Jesus is capable of separating the clean from the unclean.
