02/13/2022 – Gospel of John – Chapter 13 commentary – “Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet” // Matthew Henry : “… and yet how little is to be seen of true humility.”
From verse 14 through the last verse 17: “Now that I , your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”
Now , I share with you Matthew Henry’s commentary from the last verse only: “It is knowing and doing that will demonstrate us of Christ’s kingdom, and wise builders. It is to be applied especially to this command of humility. Nothing is better than this, that we should be humble. Few will own themselves to be proud, for it is as inexcusable a sin, and as hateful, as any other; and yet how little is to seen of true humility. Most know these things so well as to expect that others should do accordingly to them, but not so well as to do so themselves.”
Soli Deo Gloria!
