Washed Clean

​6-3-22
Today’s devotion is based on John’s recording of Jesus’ words as they are written down for us in Revelation 22:14, “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.”
Our daily lives have a way of staining us. There are things in the past that we have said and done. Things that have left some deep stains: guilt and hurt and remorse. We try our best to get rid of those stains. We try to forget and block them out of our minds. We try hard to do better and be good. We try to make it up in some way. We do everything we can, but we can’t scrub them clean.
Thankfully, Jesus scrubbed us clean of all sin. He did not use detergent or bleach. Rather, he used his very blood—blood he shed on the cross for you and me. Blood that was pure, holy, and able to wash every single one of our sinful stains away. Because of Jesus, we now are pure, holy, and righteous in God’s sight
Please pray with me; Dear Jesus, thank you for giving your life in my place and washing me clean in your precious blood. Lead me today and every day to thank you for your grace and look forward to the day when I will walk through those gates and see you face to face. Amen.
