Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 16, 2008

Jesus understood full well that in a few short hours all those 24 feet that were so wonderfully cleansed would soon desert Him and run for their life and flee from His presence... And He knows it. They don’t know it. Only the feet of John would stay put.

Getting Ready For Great Things

Living As The Family Of God Series
