John 13:7

Jesus replied, 'You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'

Understanding this passage

Peter could not make sense of Jesus washing his feet. Jesus did not explain everything immediately; understanding came later.

Why this verse helps

Not getting it yet is not the same as being abandoned. Jesus allows a gap between now and later understanding.

A prayer for you

Jesus, I do not realize now what You are doing. Help me trust You until I understand. Amen.
