THE NURSE WITH A SPOTTED WHITE
How much
more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God? Heb 9:14
An
international health organization was recruiting some Nurses and Nurses all
over the world were applying because the benefits are far better than working
as a nurse in your nation. The rigors were strict as they make all the
applicants pass through several tests and interviews. So many failed in their
thousand and were disqualified till the number reduced. Now this body just
needed one Nurse to complete the number of Nurse they want to recruit and the
number that remain were still in thousands. In order to get the best they
continued in series of examination and cross examinations till it remained only
two ladies. They gave the two ladies another test and one of the ladies finally
came out as the better of the two; she rejoiced, danced, phoned her husband and
friends to share her joy and she felt so much over the moon until a spot was
found on her Nurses’ uniform. While running around she had been stained by some
dirt without her knowledge and whoever has a stain on her whites gets
disqualified automatically the first condition for application states. When the
stain was found, every test she had passed became in vain for she was
disqualified, she cried and pleaded but it was in vain, she lost the job not
because she wasn’t sound in her profession but because of an oversight of the
stain on her garment.
Won’t
similar thing happen on many sound believers? You may be very good in your
church, good to people and generous but you still look down on the issue of
lying, masturbation, anger, lusting etc. these supposed minor sins are a spots
on your spiritual garment and no matter how good you are and how much you’ve
done, you won’t be allowed into heaven for God only accepts spotless saints.
Jesus was a lamb without spot (1Pet. 1:19) to enter the presence of God and we
too must be same.
What’s
that sin that easily beset you? Don’t manage it, don’t hide, open your mouth
and pray and seek for mercy. Pray for the cleansing of your conscience and
heart. Repent today for Jesus is coming very soon and may He not find us in
that un-repented state in Jesus name. May He not come when we’ve not dealt with
spot on our garments.
God
bless you
