Eze 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: fro m all your

filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. When God promises....He is faithful! "By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; L et us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)" (Heb 10:20-23 KJV) I think sometimes we forget that "Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it;That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the w ord, that He might *present it to Himself* a glorious church, not having spot, o r wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." He presents it (the chruch..His Body) to Himself!...more than an earthly priest could ever do...HE HIMSELF presents it (us; His Body).. to HIMSELF...(thats the Glory and the Love we can now share) ..as a BETTER covenant, a NEW and LIVING Way...through HIS own Flesh, and by His own Blood, and according to His Own purp ose He has Redeemed us, that we may know Him and the power of His resurrection. Even natural marriage is only a vague glimmer of the True Marriage we can expect IN Him, by Him, and for His own Names sake...what an honor to be called to this union....the joining of ONE City, set on a hill...the Everlasting City of God.
