'Jesus Knows His Followers Well!
John 13:10.
a) Jesus said to Peter:
b) "The one who has bathed
c) "Does not need to wash,
d) "Except for his feet,
e) "But is completely clean.
f) "And you are clean,
g) "But not every one of you."
(This QT reminds me that Jesus Knows His Followers Well)
PRAY: To be clean in every way in front of the Lord Jesus.

'There Is No Distinction.'
Romans 3:22.
a) The Righteousness of God
b) Through Faith in Christ Jesus
c) For all who Believe.
d) For there is no distinction.
(Through this Second one my belief is confirmed that: There Is No Distinction)
PRAY: For the Churches in your area to understand that There Is No Distinction.

The one who has bathed does not need to wash. The washing of feet here was simply practical because unshod or sandaled feet got dirty outside. They could not come inside in an unwashed state because they would make the floor of the house so dirty. This is like the habit of taking one's shoes off when entering a home, in many Asian Nations this is still the normal practice today.
The heart that is not clean is not known by other people BUT it is known by the Lord Jesus Christ. We should keep clean physically - that is our social responsibility - but we need, also, to keep a clean heart before the Lord and before other people too.
