Cleansing

“I will; be thou clean” (Matthew 8:3).

These words, spoken by the Lord Jesus to the leper, echo His desire for every sinner who comes to Him in true repentance. “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).

Every person who comes will find cleansing and salvation with the assurance that, “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).

In the case of Naaman, he was told by the prophet Elisha “Go and wash” (2 Kings 5:10). This simple message and command still sums up the gospel today. Not washing in the river Jordan or any other celebrated river in the world, “but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:19).

So the question remains:

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

There is only one remedy for sin, and that is the blood of Jesus. I hope all my readers have availed themselves of it.
