God is Merciful
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Matthew 23:25
Covid19 is having us focus hard on keeping things clean on the outside, but Jesus would say don’t lose sight on what is found on the inside. It is true that Old Testament laws focused on cleanliness protected God’s people from many unknowns of that day. God continues to protect us from harm, but through Jesus, His law has now been written on our hearts. Focusing on Jesus will allow us to examine our hearts honestly, repent, and produce an outflow of goodness and mercy.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
Because God is merciful, through repentance, the blood of Jesus washes our hearts clean from all sin.
