A good bath

21 January  2013   

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

It is interesting to note that when you ask a person that attended church on Sunday what the sermon was about, only those that were touched by the Holy Spirit may remember what they had heard. Even then sometimes that which they heard was not even preached. Going to church is a little like having a bath, we remember we bathed, we may even smell a bit of the bubble bath, but we are clean. So even though we may not remember everything, we have been washed clean by the Word.

So when we live outside of the church and do not hear the Word, it is little like never having a bath, after a period of time we realise we are not as clean as we should be, and in fact we become a bit smelly and not from bubble bath! It is important then for those that do go to church to be mindful that church is about hearing the Word of God, and the obligation of the preacher to preach it.

Be encouraged to bring others to hear the Word of God.

Point to ponder: God’s Word washes clean.

Question to consider: Have you been washed clean?
