The upper room...

*Taken from my journal on 01/20/09 when we visited the upper room. This is believed to be the site of the last supper and the disciples' prayer on the day of Pentecost.*

Walking through the upper room today was incredible.

I was so struck by the reality of Christ’s humanity.

This was the room where He wrapped the towel around His waist, filled a basin with water and washed the disciples’ filthy feet.

This was the room where He broke the bread and left a remembrance for us.

But more than anything I was impressed by the stone floors and the thought of the feet of Jesus upon them.

I wonder what He walked like… if His feet were tired that day. I wonder if He enjoyed being barefoot or it He preferred wearing sandals…

He knew what it was to step into fresh cool water on a hot and dusty day.

Real feet.

That stood here.

I wonder how tall He was...

I wonder how He must have felt that night.
