• He still girds Himself for their service, and takes water1 to wash their feet. Although in heaven, He is still serving us. The effect of this service is that the Holy Spirit takes away practically by the Word all the defilement that we gather in walking through this world of sin. On our way we come in contact with this world that rejected Christ. Our Advocate on high (compare 1 John 2), He cleanses us from its defilement by the Holy Spirit and the Word; He cleanses us in view of the relationships with God His Father, unto which He has brought us by entering into them Himself as man on high. (“John 13” by J.N. Darby)

• If “the blood” is Godward, though for us “the water” is saint ward to remove impurity in practice,250 as well as to give a new nature which judges evil according to God and His Word. (“John 13” by W. Kelly)
