Clean It Up

1445Mark 14:44
The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss. Then you can take him away under guard.”
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm6[/bible];[bible]Revel12[/bible];[bible]Nehem4-5[/bible]
Watch someone who is cleaning dishes, glasses, spoons, or forks. In order to make it clean, she has to wash it up overall. Then, she has to rinse it until it is completely clean. If it is not yet, then soapsuds or dirt might still cling on it. However, we usually prefer cleaning its inside to outside.
When Pharisees and the teachers of religious law came to Jesus, they asked why the disciples of God brook the traditions of their ancestors; they did not wash their hands before they ate. Jesus then rebuked them.
“Why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?” Jesus asked. In verse 7, Jesus even called them as the hypocrites. They honored God by their lips but their hearts were far from Him. In here, Jesus stressed that how important what is in the hearts than what goes into our mouths.
To clean what is outside, like our body is important, but it is more important to clean what is in our spiritual. In order to make it clean, we need soap. When we let it washed by the words of God every day, then we are more similar to Him. Therefore, what goes into our mouth comes from our cleaned hearts.
We need determination and effort to clean our mind and spiritual body. Please take a look into our selves; what sins are still cling on us. Clean it up day by day, being consistent to improve your self, and have determination so that we may not fall down into sin anymore. Then we may say proudly like Paul someday; that we have finished the game well.
