"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Mark 2:17)
The mental picture that arose this morning was that of people, their bodies riddled with cancer, walking through a hospital not understanding why they were there. We ALL have a cancer called s i n that is slowly, but surely, killing us. How many of us--how many among those we know-- cannot bring themselves to acknowledge their problem, much less seek help for it.
While Jesus died and rose to kill that cancer once and for all, it seems to keep resurrecting daily in each of us. That's why there must be a daily cleansing by HIM by the power of HIS blood to keep that cancer from getting another foothold in us. The blood will never lose its power. But it cannot help us if we refuse to admit our need for it.
