chapter 2-A forgiving heart -loving the people you are stuck with from Just like Jesus book

John 13:14-15
If I, your Lord and teacher have washed your feet, you should wash each other's feet. I did this as an example so you should do as I have done for you.

Jesus washes our feets for two reasons. The first is to give us mercy; the second is to give us a message and that message is simply that, Jesus offers unconditional grace, we are to offer unconditional grace. The mercy of christ preceded our mistakes, our mercy precede the mistakes of others. Those in the circle of christ had no doubt of his love , those in our circles should have no doubts about ours.
what does it means to have a heart like his,it means to kneel as jesus as jesus knelt, touching the grimy parts of the people we are stuck with and washing away their unkindness with kindness
