Reflections On The Scripture: This verse from Ezekiel speaks to us about the importance of purification and sanctification. It serves as a vivid reminder that just as the altar in the Old Testament had to be cleansed with the blood, so we need the cleansing power of the blood of Christ in our lives. It's a striking illustration of the depth of cleansing required in our spiritual life. When we come to Christ in faith, He cleanses us from our sins – not just on the surface, but reaching into every corner and border of our souls. It is a process, much like it was on the altar, but in this divine act of purification, we can stand truly justified and freed from the snare of past mistakes, present struggles and future uncertainties. It's a powerful message of relentless divine love and unearned grace in our journeys of faith.
