935. \u201cWashed Out\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWash Away Thy Sins\u201d Act_22:16<\/p>\n
Walking down Kingsway, I noticed a pavement artist, who was assiduously applying his art. Against the scene that he was sketching he had chalked, \u201cFive hours\u2019 work washed out by the rain.\u201d In the earlier part of that afternoon there had been a tremendous downpour of rain, accompanying a terrific storm, and as the poor man indicated, it had completely obliterated all the result of his toil. The words, \u201cWashed out\u201d arrested me, and it made me think of what the Bible says about washing. Both sides are presented to us\u2014what God has done for us for the sake of Christ, and what He would have us do for our own sakes, as well as for His.<\/p>\n
1. A Searching Command. \u201cWash you, make you clean\u201d (Isa_1:16). Till we are willing to be cleansed, and cleanse, the Lord cannot bless us.<\/p>\n
2. A Personal Prayer. \u201cWash me and I shall be whiter than snow\u201d (Psa_51:7). There is no one so clean as the one who has been cleansed in the Blood of Christ.<\/p>\n
3. An Earnest Desire. \u201cWash me throughly of mine iniquity\u201d (Psa_51:2). The Lord\u2019s work is always thorough. When He washes, He washes right through.<\/p>\n
4. A Qualified Host. Those who stand before the throne of God in the glory are those who have \u201cwashed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb\u201d (Rev_7:14).<\/p>\n
5. An Assuring Statement. In reminding the believers at Corinth what they were, and what they are, the Apostle says, \u201cBut ye are washed\u201d (1Co_6:11).<\/p>\n
6. An Essential Qualification. In drawing near to God in worship, it is necessary to have \u201cour bodies washed with pure water\u201d (Heb_10:22).<\/p>\n
7. A Grateful Doxology. \u201cUnto Him that has loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood… be glory and dominion for ever\u201d (Rev_1:5-6).<\/p>\n
