Hello friends. Welcome back. It is time for the morning mindset. You and I have an opportunity

right now to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's Word. Today we'll be doing

that by looking at John chapter 13 verses 6 through 10. And we're going to be looking

at a very important subject. And that's the subject of being clean before God. Now

when I say that, I wonder if you think of soap or bath or something like that that's

as it seems he was kind of prone to do. And he says, Lord, just bathe all of me. I want

to really be into you. I want to really be your follower. And Jesus replies in verse 10.

The one who has bathed does not need to wash except for his feet, but is completely

clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you. For he knew who was to betray him.

That was why he said, not all of you are clean. So it's that last section that gives us
