MTJ's comment about Peter "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me," and I love the analogy of the mother's spit cleaning! I never thought about healing enzymes being in spit, but animals do lick their wounds...

Renee made a good point regarding a mother's spit. we all agree spitting on some is a nasty disgusting thing to do. but could it be the love what makes the spit 'clean' or better? we would accept mom's and God's spit but not a stranger. hmmm. God's love and healing power can work through everything!

Think I will sit up and take notice. A mother often takes her own spit to wipe her child's face....Jesus' own spit would be just as loving and more!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443600301115491442.post-38406975431926022072011-04-09T11:57:30.031-05:002011-04-09T11:57:30.031-05:00I've heard that spit has healing enzymes in it...I've heard that spit has healing enzymes in it. And that it is also good for taking out stains before washing clothes. Maybe we're overlooking something here. Of course spit from the son of God is not like any other.

I never thought about God spitting before, but your right, He did. He could have healed people any way He chose. It is interesting that He chose spit, and knowing God I'm sure He had a good reason...He always does. But like His disciples, I don't always understand either.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179941572125296102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443600301115491442.post-15600849088291098112011-04-08T21:38:33.386-05:002011-04-08T21:38:33.386-05:00Hi Esther Joy,

I feel much like Peter must have felt when Jesus told him, "<b>If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.</b>" (<i>John 13:8, NASB</i>)<br /><br />Whatever method Jesus chooses to use to bless me is fine by me.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443600301115491442.post-38382062578749075052011-04-08T13:07:24.044-05:002011-04-08T13:07:24.044-05:00not something most people think about.

It makes me wonder how many people would be honored to have Christ spit on them. I gurantee the blind and the dumb person was honored. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Sherry Southardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177560650155826454noreply@blogger.com
