So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you It was an example in the moment. We do the same not by washing feet... but by serving one another with respect and reverence. |
I agree wholeheartedly, however, it does not answer the question - How does one's participation in the Lord's Supper by partaking of these sacred symbols, "SHEW the Lord's death till he come," as explicitly stated by Paul in
I Corinthians 11:25. Does not the word "SHEW" (or, SHOW) in this context, indicate a "visible exhibit" or outward display of an inner feeling or belief?
