While our team of artists are currently working through Job and finishing up the events surrounding Joseph's life in Genesis, we sometimes jump ahead and create artwork for promotional purposes. Recently, we chose to illustrate the scene in which Jesus washes Peter's feet. [Jesus] rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" —John 13:4–6 [ESV] We can imagine the perplexed look the disciples must have had as they watched the Son of God tenderly washing the feet of Simon Peter. And of course, Peter himself at first refused to have Jesus wash his feet! Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." —John 13:8 Illustrating this scene was such a privilege. It reminds us of how Jesus washes our sins away just as he washed the dirt from Peter's feet. |
