" Unclean" was the word the Pharisees feared the most.
They spent hours washing" pots, spots and dots."
They followed and amplified to impossible proportions every little hygienic requirement of the Mosaic law.
Jesus answered the objections of the Pharisees, pointing out that unclean refers more to a state of the heart that to a state of the hands.
Attitudes, anger, adulteries and arrogance cannot be removed from the human heart by any amount of" hand washing."
Unlike unclean foods that are simply processed through the body and the waste removed naturally, unclean attitudes sit like poison in the human spirit and way to spring into actions.
Aaron learned the mystery of cleansing before God:" he shall sprinkle some of the blood own it... Two plans it and to consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites." (Leviticus 16:19).
Water may cleanse the body, but only blood can cleanse the spirit!
Reach out and apply that blood to your spirit today!
