“Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.”
Joshua 1:3 KJV
In the old covenant, God gave the inheritance of the land to the children of Israel that everywhere they placed the sole of their foot was given to them. In the new covenant Jesus as our Teacher and Lord washes our feet just as He did His first disciples’ feet. He removed their sandals so that according to the old covenant their inheritance was no longer limited to Israel, as under the law given to Moses. But now we, His disciples follow the example that Jesus set for us and wash one another’s feet and we do for each other what Jesus did then. Jesus said that a servant is not superior to his Master, and an apostle is never greater than the One who sent him. So now we put into practice what Jesus did then, and we will experience a life of happiness enriched with untold blessings, our inheritance in the new covenant of grace. Wherever we put our feet and proclaim the Gospel, we are walking in our new inheritance - the fullness of Christ and the authority that came with it. Let’s humble ourselves and by love serve one another in the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah!
