\u201cThou shalt never wash my feet.\u201d (John 13:8<\/a>)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord Jesus had just girded Himself with a towel and filled a basin with water, preparatory to washing the disciples\u2019 feet. When He came to Peter, He met this emphatic refusal, \u201cThou shalt never wash my feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why? Why didn\u2019t Peter want to submit to this gracious ministry from the Lord? On the one hand, there may have been a sense of unworthiness; he did not consider himself worthy to be served by the Lord. But there is also the real possibility that Peter\u2019s attitude was one of pride and independence. He did not want to be on the receiving end. He did not want to be dependent on others for help.<\/p>\n

This same attitude keeps many people from being saved. They want to earn salvation or deserve it, but to receive it as a free gift of grace is beneath their dignity. They don\u2019t want to feel indebted to God. But \u201cno one who is too proud to be infinitely in debt will ever be a Christian\u201d (James S. Stewart).<\/p>\n

There is also a lesson here for those who are already Christians. We have all met believers who are compulsive givers. They are always doing for others. Their lives are poured out in service for their relatives and neighbors. Their generosity deserves high praise. But there is a fly in the ointment! They never want to be on the receiving end. They never want anyone to do anything for them. They have learned how to give generously but they have never learned how to receive graciously. They enjoy the blessing of ministering to others, but they deny to others that same blessing.<\/p>\n

Paul proved himself to be a gracious recipient of gifts from the Philippians. In thanking them, he said, \u201cNot because I desire a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account\u201d (Phil. 4:17<\/a>). He thought of their reward more than of his own need.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is told of Bishop Westcott that at the end of his life he said he had made one great mistake, for, while he had always been willing to do for others to the limit of his ability, he had never been willing to let others do for him, and as a result some element of sweetness and completeness was missing. He had not allowed himself the discipline of receiving many kindnesses which could not be repaid\u201d (J. O. Sanders).<\/p>\n

An unknown poet summed it up well when he wrote:<\/p>\n

J hold him great, who, for love\u2019s sake,
\nCan give with generous, earnest will;
\nBut he who takes for love\u2019s sweet sake,
\nI think I hold more generous still.<\/p>\n

\u00bbDu sollst nimmermehr meine F\u00fc\u00dfe waschen!\u00ab\u00a0Johannes 13,8<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Der Herr hatte sich gerade mit einem leinenen Tuch umg\u00fcrtet und Wasser\u00a0in ein\u00a0Waschbecken gegossen, um die F\u00fc\u00dfe seiner J\u00fcnger zu waschen. Als er zu Petrus\u00a0kam, reagierte dieser mit der entschiedenen Weigerung: \u00bbDu sollst nimmermehr\u00a0meine F\u00fc\u00dfe waschen!\u00ab<\/p>\n

Warum? Warum wollte Petrus diesen liebevollen Dienst nicht vom Herrn annehmen?\u00a0Einerseits mag er seine Unw\u00fcrdigkeit gef\u00fchlt haben; er hielt sich nicht f\u00fcr\u00a0w\u00fcrdig, vom Herrn bedient zu werden. Aber es besteht durchaus auch die M\u00f6glichkeit,\u00a0dass Petrus\u2019 Haltung von Stolz und Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit\u00a0gepr\u00e4gt war. Er wollte kein\u00a0F\u00fcrsorgeempf\u00e4nger sein. Er wollte nicht auf die Hilfe anderer angewiesen sein.<\/p>\n

Dieselbe Haltung h\u00e4lt viele Menschen davon ab, sich erretten zu lassen. Sie m\u00f6chten\u00a0die Errettung verdienen, aber es ist unter ihrer W\u00fcrde, sie als freie Gabe der Gnade\u00a0Gottes zu empfangen. Sie wollen nicht in Gottes Schuld stehen. Aber \u00bbniemand,\u00a0der zu stolz ist, unendlich und ewig in Gottes Schuld zu stehen, kann je ein Christ\u00a0werden\u00ab (James S. Stewart).<\/p>\n

Doch enth\u00e4lt dieser Vers auch eine Lektion f\u00fcr die, die schon Christen sind. Wir\u00a0alle kennen Gl\u00e4ubige, die fast zwanghafte Geber sind. Sie tun immer etwas f\u00fcr andere.\u00a0Ihr Leben besteht nahezu ausschlie\u00dflich im Dienst f\u00fcr ihre Verwandten und\u00a0Nachbarn. Ihre Freigebigkeit und Dienstbereitschaft\u00a0verdient hohes Lob. Und doch\u00a0liegt eine Fliege im \u00d6l des Salbenmischers!\u00a0Sie wollen niemals selbst Hilfe annehmen.\u00a0Sie haben gelernt, gro\u00dfz\u00fcgig zu geben, aber sie haben nicht gelernt, dankbar zu\u00a0empfangen. Sie genie\u00dfen den Segen und die Freude, ihren Mitmenschen zu dienen,\u00a0aber anderen verweigern sie diesen selben Segen.<\/p>\n

Paulus zeigte sich als dankbarer Empf\u00e4nger der Gaben der Philipper. In seinem\u00a0Dank brachte er ihnen gegen\u00fcber zum Ausdruck: \u00bbNicht, dass ich die Gabe suche,\u00a0sondern ich suche die Frucht, die \u00fcberstr\u00f6mend sei f\u00fcr eure Rechnung\u00ab (Philipper\u00a04,17). Er dachte mehr an ihre Belohnung als an seine eigenen Bed\u00fcrfnisse.<\/p>\n

\u00bbVon Bischof Westcott wird erz\u00e4hlt, dass er am Ende seines Lebens sagte,\u00a0er habe\u00a0einen gro\u00dfen Fehler begangen. Denn w\u00e4hrend er einerseits immer\u00a0bereit war, anderen\u00a0bis an die Grenzen seiner M\u00f6glichkeiten zu helfen, war er niemals gewillt, andere\u00a0etwas f\u00fcr ihn tun zu lassen, und als Folge davon fehlte seinem Leben ein Element\u00a0von Lieblichkeit und Vollst\u00e4ndigkeit.
\nEr hatte es vers\u00e4umt zu lernen, wie man viele\u00a0Wohltaten empf\u00e4ngt, die nicht vergolten werden k\u00f6nnen\u00ab (J.O. Sanders).
\nEin unbekannter Dichter hat es treffend zusammengefasst:<\/p>\n

Ich achte den f\u00fcr gro\u00df, der, um der Liebe willen
\nMit weitem, willigen Herzen geben kann;
\nAber den, der um der Liebe willen nehmen kann,
\nDen achte ich, glaube ich, f\u00fcr noch gro\u00dfherziger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
