Unclean by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 08/25/11

Published August 25, 2011 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: When we see God more clearly, it illuminates our sinfulness. God moved in a great way in Ireland in the 1800s. One eyewitness said that conviction of sin became so intense that sinners were compelled to cry out in agony. They often cried out, “Unclean, unclean.”

The Bible tells us that’s what lepers had to cry when they came near people. One leper encountered Jesus and said, “If You choose, You can make me clean.” This man knew how desperate he was. Jesus responded by saying, “I do choose. Be made clean.”

He’s willing to say the same thing to us, if we’re willing to admit how unclean we really are. When we realize that, we can better appreciate the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross.

Would you ask God to revive your heart? Ask Him to show you areas that aren’t clean, and then confess those to Him with a broken heart.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

[The Humbled and Exalted Christ] Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 (NKJV)
