Our sins, not us

John 13:5-11; Jesus washes the Disciples feet.

If we do not go to Christ in confession to be cleansed, Jesus will say to us "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me."

If we go to confession acknowledging our sins and wishing for our very personality to be changed, He will say "Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all."

Christ will not wash us away; the Lamb of God takes away sins, not personalities, quirks, or weaknesses.
