Back in college in 2001, I was on a mountain climbing club. The club was strict, but everyone in the club loved mountains and rock climbing. We would meet at least once a week to learn to climb walls and prepare for our mountain climbing tour that began as soon as the first semester ended. The tour lasted for almost a week.
As soon as the final exam was over, we packed up and climbed up the 500-meter-high mountain right behind our school campus. It wasn’t the highest mountain, but it had good rocks to climb on. We set up our tents and started training and climbing different rocks and got to learn from the seniors. Everything was great, except for one thing. There was no shower. There was no such facility on top of the mountain, and the water was strictly for cooking and drinking only. We sweated all day and we were gross, and we could not shower. We were showerless for at least three days, I don’t know how we did that.
After three days, we came down the mountain to go to the next climbing site. We hopped on the bus. I felt so sorry for everyone else on the bus because we were nasty. This next site had a shower facility, praise the Lord! That shower after 3 days of climbing was like heaven. Oh, it felt so good and refreshing. We were clean again.
“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7. How powerful is this statement. The sin that has held us hostage to death for all this time is cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Just like the song that says, “Nothing but the blood of Jesus,” I pray that we will walk in the light of God and allow us to be cleansed by His Son Jesus Christ.
