The cleansing of the leper
“And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his hand even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh; Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.”
Leviticus 13:12-13
Suggested Further Reading:
Colossians 3:5-14
Sinner, if you are to be saved, Christ must do it all; but when once you have faith in Christ, then you must be washed; then must you cease from sin, and then by the Holy Spirit’s power you shall be enabled to do so.
What was ineffective before shall become mighty enough now, through the life which God has put into you.
The washing with water by the word, and the cleansing of yourself from dead works, shall become an effectual and mighty duty.
You shall be made holy, and walk in white, in the purity wherewith Christ has endowed you. The shaving off of his hair was fitly to represent how all the old things were to pass away, and everything was to become new.
All the white hair was to be cut off, as you read in Leviticus 14:9: “He shall shave all the hair off his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows.” There was not a remnant or relic left of the old state in which the hair was white; all was to be given up.
So it is with the sinner.
When he is once pardoned, once cleansed, then he begins to cut off the old habits, his old prides, his old joys.
The beard on which the hoary Jew prided himself was to come off, and the eyebrows which seem to be necessary to make the countenance look decent, were all to be taken away.
So it is with the pardoned man. He did nothing before, he does everything now. He knew that good works were of no benefit to him in his carnal state, but now he becomes so strict that he will shave off every hair of his old state. Not one darling lust shall be left, not one iniquity shall be spared, all must be cut away.
For meditation:
Very soon many will be breaking their New Year’s resolutions! The Christian is already a new creation in Christ
(2 Corinthians 5:17), a new person with a new nature.
May God give us grace and strength to be what we are in Christ.
(2 Corinthians 5:17), a new person with a new nature.
