3. “Thus shall you separate the children of Israel from their ____________: that

Chapter 14 - Cleansing for Leprosy
Chapter 15 - Personal Cleansing
What do we learn from these chapters?
1. Personal cleansing was extremely important to the children of Israel. God
protected them from their own unlearned patterns of self cleanliness. For many
diseases follow an unkempt group of so many people unlearned in ways of personal
cleanliness. Can this not be a lesson for us today? Doctors continually caution
about washing hands after certain personal events. Could this personal
cleanliness also relate to our personal spiritual lives. The dirt of sin does
get into our lives and needs also to be cleansed by confession and renewal of
our spiritual commitment to Christ.
2. This cleansing was always done by the shedding of blood. For personal
cleansing, God has provided a flow from the cross of Calvary that cleanse every
spect of sin that may cling to us and to purge us from all unrighteousness. This
is the purpose of his death and is ours for the humble asking.
3. Chapter 15:31 reveals to us that this is an essential cleansing if we would
glorify God in the Tabernacle that surrounds us daily as we go about our chores
assigned to us by our Maker.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, The pain of Your death on the cross reveals to us the great love and
care you have for us. We pray that You will remind us daily of its importance to
our welfare here on earth and as the gate to heaven. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen
