John 15:3• 3Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. (John 15:3)
• There are two different words used by the Lord here for “wash.” The first word carries with it the thought of cleansing by immersion in the great Roman bath, used in the morning for the whole body; but then, through the day, it was a constant and common thing to have the feet refreshed by being washed, and here the word used is that which applied to anything small. (“Feet-Washing” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• The water itself, employed here or elsewhere as a figure, signifies purification by the Word, applied in the power of the Spirit. When one is “born of water, and of the Spirit” (John 3:5), then the whole body is washed. There is a purification of thoughts, and of the actions likewise, by means of an object which forms and governs the heart. (“Feet-Washing” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• In “he that is washed” it is a different word from “save to wash his feet.” The first is bathing the whole body; the latter, washing hands or feet. (“John 13” by J.N. Darby)
• Not a sin is passed over lightly. Not a believer has reason for discouragement; his every failure is an object of fresh concern to the Lord, a fresh proof of love that will not let him go but bless him, spite of the carelessness which let the Lord go. But He will not go; He washes the feet of him that is already washed all over, that he may be wholly clean. Thus the new birth holds and is never renewed, because it abides true and good; while the failure of him who is born again comes under Christ’s active love and advocacy, and the soul is brought to judge himself in order to restored communion. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)
• The blood of Christ abides in its unchangeable value before God sacrificially and judicially; but the failing believer is inexcusable, and needs to wash his feet. The word must deal with him morally, producing self-judgment and confession; and the Lord looks to it in His ever-watchful grace by taking up His cause in living love with the Father. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)
• There is, whenever needful, a fresh application of “water by the word.” And this ever deals with the soul. The word detects whilst it removes the defilement, applying the death of Christ thus to man, as the blood dealt with the sins before God. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)
