“What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean’”. Mark 7:20

Almost every time I read this passage about how unclean a man could be, I think of other people. Who are those people who have evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly? And I asked the Lord to do something to those disobedient people to make our world, our society and out church clean.

Today the Lord shows me He is talking about the reality of a human being. We are all unclean for there are lots of things within that make us unclean. If we know that we are unclean, then we have a chance to ask the Lord to help us just like how the woman asked Jesus to help her daughter or how those people asked Jesus to heal the deaf.

Do we know that Jesus was talking about us? Do we know we are unclean and need the blood of Jesus to cleanse us? Do you know how unclean you are?


Dear Holy Spirit,

Shine of me that I can see my sins and that I know how to repent and ask for your forgiveness. I need your blood to cleanse me that I can have a clean heart to serve you.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
