S5.E4. Q4. Pt.2. Regarding Fruits and Vices

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of regular spiritual cleansing from minor sins, using the biblical account of Jesus washing His disciples' feet as a metaphor.

These minor sins are like the dirt that accumulates on the feet of one walking barefoot. The feet must be washed regularly. Once when Jesus was with His disciples He poured water in a basin and began to wash the disciple’s feet and dry them with a towel. Peter, feeling so inferior to Christ resisted. Jesus said that if He didn’t do it Peter would have no part with Him. So Peter said in Jn. 13.9, “not only my feet, but my hands and my head as well!” To this, Jesus’s reply is very important, ” 10 Jesus told him, “Whoever has already bathed needs only to wash his feet, and he will be completely clean. ”⎯ thereby making the clear distinction between being thoroughly cleansed by the bold of the Lamb at salvation and the need for continues cleansing of minor sins.
