Are you clean?

Matthew 23:25

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.”

I am subbing today at a local middle school and the kids have an assignment to describe what this saying means…”Clean your finger, before you point at my spots.” That is basically what the verse above is talking about isn’t it?

We have a job to do in helping others in their walk with the Lord in allowing way, but the the bigger job we have is taking care of our own walk with the Lord and being sure our lives are being lived as clean and pure as we possibly can through the power of the Holy Spirit that lives inside those who have given their lives to Jesus.

For those who have not given their lives to Jesus, you do not have the power to live a pure and clean life….so give Jesus a try and be clean through His shed blood!
