Cleansed by Christ

Bible in a Year :

• 2 Chronicles 19-20
• John 13:21-38

He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us.

1 John 1:9

My first short-term missions trip was to the Amazon jungle in Brazil to help build a church by the river. One afternoon, we visited one of the few homes in the area that had a water filter. When our host poured murky well water into the top of the contraption, within minutes all the impurities were removed, and clean, clear drinking water appeared. Right there in the man’s living room, I saw a reflection of what it means to be cleansed by Christ.

When we first come to Jesus with our guilt and shame and ask Him to forgive us and we receive Him as our Savior, He cleanses us from our sins and makes us new. We’re purified just like the murky water was transformed into clean drinking water. What a joy it is to know we are in right standing with God because of Jesus’ sacrifice (2 Corinthians 5:21) and to know God removes our sins as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12).

But the apostle John reminds us that this doesn’t mean we’ll never sin again. When we do sin, we can be assured by the image of a water filter and be comforted by knowing that as “we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Let’s live confidently knowing that we’re continually being cleansed by Christ.

Reflect & Pray

Why is it vital to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins? How does it feel to know you don’t have to be a prisoner of sin?

Dear God, thank You that You’re faithful and just to forgive me if I confess my sins to You.

A very pleasant good Monday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

We did get to stay a few minutes out at Comanche Lake yesterday but as you can see it was a little stormy out there. We'll have some better weather today.

We did take shelter for a few minutes in the pavilion bathroom:

When the rain cleared out we got to spend time on the lake house dock.

The waves from the wind behind the storms.

And yes we did have a foot long coney from Sonic for supper.

How's everyone doing this morning?

Good morning, Kathy! Good morning, all!

First school day in June, and I'm having final exams because the end of the marking period is Wednesday. And then all the state exams begin. We don't actually get out of here until the end of the month.

If I may, many of you know that I do a bit of writing. My new book, A Bucket Full of Moonlight, is part of a kickstarter campaign going on right now. It's already funded and a couple of stretch goals have already been reached.

My book is a collection of about 30 short stories and flash fiction that I've written over the past 6 or 7 years. You can check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/e-specbooks/something-for-everyone.

Have a great day, everyone!
