[Manna - May 23]
Ye also ought to wash one another's feet. John 13:14
THIS would signify that the members of Christ's
body should have a mutual watch-care over one another's
welfare; to keep each other clean, holy, pure,
and to assist one another in overcoming the trials and
temptations and besetments of this present evil world,
arising from the three sources of temptation, "the
world, the flesh and the devil."...Only as we cultivate
the various graces of the spirit,—meekness, patience,
gentleness, brotherly kindness, love—can we hope to
be specially helpful to others in putting on these
adornments of character and purities of life, and to get
rid of defilements of the world, and the flesh. Z.'97-243 R2201:6; 2202:4
