Section 2
we brothers come together for fellowship and prayer, we need to minister the spiritual foot wash ing to one another. It is the spiritual foot washing ministered to one another that keeps us clean from the earthly touch. Dear brothers, have you considered how much you need this kind of mu tual foot washing? While you are walking and working on this earth, you not only need the Lord's foot washing ministered directly within your spirit but also the foot washing from the brothers and sisters.
FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE
OF THE LORD
When the Lord washed the disciples' feet, He laid aside His garments. In figure, garments signify the Lord's virtues and attributes in His expression and to lay aside His garments signi fies the putting off of what He is in His expres sion. If the Lord had maintained the expression of His virtues and attributes, He would have been unable to wash the feet of the disciples. Likewise, whenever you are about to wash others' feet, you need to lay aside your attainments, virtues, and attributes. This is real humility, the genuine hum bling of yourself. We need to humble ourselves to such a degree that we can wash others' feet.
