There are many different kinds of soaps and cleansers in the stores today. There are kitchen soaps, detergents for clothes, cleansers for sinks, cleansers for floors, bath soaps, spray-on cleansers and on and on. How can we know which one is best? We could try each one, but that would take a long, long time. We can read what the different soapmakers say, but that won’t help much because each one says theirs is best. There is even one that says it is “99-44/100% pure.” That’s almost perfect.
Besides dirty hands, dirty clothes, dirty windows and dirty floors, there is something else that needs to be cleansed; it is our hearts. Do you believe that your heart is full of sin? Do you also know that unless your heart is washed from sin you cannot go to be with the Lord Jesus Christ in heaven? The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it.” Jeremiah 17:99The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)
Although there are many cleansers we can use to wash our hands, clean our cars or wash our clothes, there is only one cleanser for the heart. It can wash away all our sins, and it is 100% perfect! It is the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that He shed on Calvary’s cross for you and for me. Is your heart still dirty with sin, or have your sins been washed away by the blood of Jesus?
