Today’s Scripture
“Because you did not trust me enough, you will not lead them into the land” (Numbers 20:12).
Purification was a sanctification process. They were required to cleanse themselves and if they did not, they were relegated outside the community. This has relevance to us today in that as Christians, we are called to the process of sanctification, a work of the Holy Spirit in our lives to change us to become more like Christ. It is our responsibility to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in this work from the time we accept Jesus into our heart until the time of our death or Christ’s Second Coming, whichever comes first. We’re supposed to be working with God to become sanctified this side of heaven.
Do you take the process of sanctification seriously enough? Speak to the Rock (Jesus) and ask Him to send you a greater filling of the Holy Spirit to change you from the inside out.
Great lesson as always, Shannon. I love that we begin this Lentin season today learning about the sanctification process. This should be our focus as we prepare for Easter Thank you for explaining so wonderfully the reasons why Moses disobeyed and did not make it into the promise land. The explanation is so clear and incredible how it points to Christ only having to be crucified once. I did not see that at first when I read it.
Have a blessed Ash Wednesday and season of Lent. I’m thankful that your study will be a part of my Lentin season
