1 Kings 19:1-21; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Hebrews 2:1-18

Sprinkle water of purification on them, and let them shave all their body, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. Numbers 8:7, NKJV

To be clean Levites washed their bodies and their clothes. But to be purified, Moses sprinkled them with holy water. This sprinkling imparted the value of what was sprinkled to it (Heb. 9:19- 22). Thus, the Levites were both clean and holy to the Lord. Today, believers experience spiritual cleansing at conversion and are set apart as a holy priesthood to Christ (Titus 3:5). Given the moral cleansing and spiritual purification we have undergone, may we faithfully serve the Lord as clean and holy priests. —W. A. H.

Glory be to Him who loved us, washed us from each sinful stain;
Glory be to Him who made us, priests and kings with Him to reign. —Horatius Bonar
