All right, let's read it one
more time, Exodus 30 verse 17. The Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot, or the
base, also of brass, to wash with. Thou shalt put it between
the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt
put water therein. For Aaron and his son shall wash
their hands and their feet thereat. When they go into the tabernacle
of the congregation, they shall wash with water that they die
not. Or when they come near to the
altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the Lord, so
they shall wash their hands and their feet that they die not.
And it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his
seed throughout their generations. Now our subject is Christ in
the brass laver. Christ and the brass laver. Now
before we see what this picture, I think it will help us to remember
what had happened to the priest up to this point. What God had
done for the priest up to this point. First of all, God chose
who his priest would be. They had been chosen who the
priest would be. God chooses his people freely
by grace and makes us priests under God. And then the priests
were washed all over by another. Moses, remember, washed them
all over. All over. That's a picture of
regeneration. We must be born again. We must
be born of the Holy Spirit of God. But once that's done, that's
completed. It's done. It's done by another,
not by works of righteousness which we've done, but by His
mercy He saved us by the washing of regeneration. Moses washed
them. He washed them. Thirdly, the holy garments were
put on them by another. Whenever we're regenerated and
brought to faith in Christ, God imputes the righteousness of
Christ to his people. The holy garment of Christ's
righteousness is put on us from head to foot. We are covered
in the righteousness of Christ. And then That work of regeneration
is accomplished through the preaching of Christ crucified. That's what
we see on the brazen altar. After they were chosen, after
they were washed, after the garments were put on them, they were brought
to that brazen altar. And there they beheld the sin
offering. They died in their place. Christ
is the sin offering who bore the sins of His people and purged
them away before the justice of God. He satisfied justice
for His people and took our sins away before the law of God. They
saw the burnt offering. Christ Jesus is our acceptance
with God. By His obedience unto the death
of the cross, He made His people accepted of God. He is our righteousness. Then they saw the consecration
offering. and they took the blood of that
offering and they took the holy oil and they covered them in
that oil and in that blood. We are consecrated to God when
the Holy Spirit comes, purges our conscience with the blood
of Christ, makes us see the works finished, makes us see what Christ
has done for us, brings us to Christ so that from then on,
We're made willing to serve Christ. We have communion with Christ.
We can worship Christ and God our Father. And then they offered
those burnt meat offerings. That's a thanksgiving. Whenever
God's done this work for us, then we give God all the glory
for our salvation. That's what's pictured in those
burnt meat offerings. So get this now. At this point,
we have a picture of a believer. A believer who's already been
chosen of God, already been born again and brought to faith in
Christ, he's already been redeemed and justified, accepted by the
blood of Christ, already consecrated by the Spirit of God. So this
is a holy, sanctified, a priest unto God, a believer is what
we're talking about here when we get to this laver. So what
do we have typified in this brass laver? Well though a believer
be justified in Christ and never more so, and though we be holy,
sanctified in Christ with Christ dwelling in us and never more
so, still in order to have continual
communion with Every believer has a daily need
to come to Christ. We have a daily need to continually
have Christ cleanse us of daily defilement. We acquire it from our sinful
flesh and from this sinful world, and we need to be daily cleansed
by Christ. Do you remember the night the
Lord Jesus washed the disciples' feet? Peter said, well, I want
you to wash me all over. And our Lord said, he who is
washed... See, we already saw these priests
being washed. They have already been washed
in regeneration. Been washed in the blood of Christ. He who
is washed only needs to wash his feet. For he is clean ever
with. That washing of regeneration,
washing of the blood of Christ made us clean all over. complete,
but we still need to wash our feet and our hands. Christ Jesus
is the one who does this, and he does it through the Spirit
of God. He cleanses us of daily defilement. So let's see this
in this brass laver. Now, first of all, what's pictured
in the laver and in the water? What do we have pictured in the
laver and the water? Verse 18, thou shalt also make
a laver of brass and the base of brass to wash with. Well, this was, you get the picture,
this laver, it was a big, we're not told the dimensions of it,
but this laver was a big laver and later with the temple we're
told about it and it was huge, but this one we don't know how
big it was. but it's a laver of brass and it held water and
then the water would flow down into the base and then out of
the base there was a spigot where the priest could wash their hands
and their feet. Well, first of all, the laver of brass typifies
Christ himself. The laver itself is Christ himself. Jeremiah 2.13, he said, my people
have committed two They have forsaken me, the fountain of
living waters. That's who Christ is. He's the
laver of living waters. And he said, and they've hewed
them out broken cisterns that can hold no water. Christ is
our justifier and our justification. And Christ is our sanctifier
and our sanctification. Out of Christ's side flowed blood
and water. Blood for our justification,
water for our sanctification. Let the water and the blood from
thy wounded side which flowed be of sin the double cure. We
have need of a double cure. We are not only guilty before
God, we are polluted in our flesh. And He is the double cure for
sin. He saves from wrath, that's by His blood. And He makes His
people pure, that's by the water that He gives. that comes from
Him. Zechariah 13.1 said, In that
day there shall be a fountain open. That's what we're looking
at here, the fountain open. In that day there'll be a fountain
open to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
to his elect people, to those he's made priests unto God. It's
for sin, for justification, and for uncleanness. for sanctification,
purification. So the laver itself typifies
Christ the fountain of life, the fountain. And then the water
typifies two things. One, the water typifies the Holy
Spirit of God. From Christ the laver, now get
the picture, from Christ the laver, through His finished work
of redemption flows the water of life. the Holy Spirit of God. Where did they get this water
for this fountain? They're in the middle of a desert.
Where'd they get the water from? We know where they got it from.
They got it from the smitten rock. That's where it came from.
That rock went everywhere they went. That's where they got all
their water from, the smitten rock. And Paul tells us that
rock was Christ. See, through Christ being smitten
for His people, through His blood and His righteousness, the Spirit
of God is given to His people, the water of life is given to
His people. Let me show you that, Galatians 3.13, and this is so
important. You have people going around
preaching this lie that if you're elect and Christ redeems you,
you don't ever have to hear the gospel, you don't ever have to
be born again. Well, that's not so. The very
purpose for Christ's death was so His people shall be born again.
Look at this, Galatians 3.13, Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, for it is written,
Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree. Now why did He do
that? That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through
Jesus Christ. What's he talking about? That
we might receive or be given the promise of the Holy Spirit
through faith. That's why he died, to give us
the Holy Spirit. Look at Titus chapter 3. Titus chapter 3, he says, Verse
3, We ourselves also were sometime foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving different lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful
and hating one another. But after that, the kindness
and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He
saved us by the washing by the washing of regeneration and renewing
of the Holy Ghost, which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Savior. The water comes through Christ's
blood and righteousness. Look at the next word, that being,
that means that having been justified by His grace, by Christ's blood,
we should, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life by being born again. Do you get the picture now? The
water comes from the laver. And it's from Christ being wounded
and bruised for his people and redeeming his people that the
Holy Spirit's given to us. It's through the justifying blood
of Christ. After Calvary came Pentecost. And what happened at Pentecost?
What was the proof that God was satisfied with Christ and that
He had made Him both Lord and Christ? What was the manifestation
of it? Christ poured out the water of
the Holy Spirit upon His church. And what did they do? They preached
the Word of the Gospel. And that's the second thing this
water pictures. It pictures the Word of God,
the Gospel we preach. The Gospel we preached and the
Holy Scriptures. Just like this water flowed down
from the laver to the priest. Christ sends the water of the
Word. He sends the Gospel which is
itself the proclamation of Christ person and work. He sends this
Gospel forward. And He speaks the Word. The Word,
the capital W-O-R-D, the Word speaks the Word into our hearts
and cleanses us. Look at Ephesians 5. Ephesians
chapter 5, verse 25. Husbands, love your wives even
as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. Now
what's going to come from that? What comes from Christ loving
and giving himself for the church? That he might sanctify and cleanse
it. We were sanctified when he regenerated
us through the Spirit. We were born of God, made holy.
but He keeps on cleansing us. With what? The washing of the
water by the Word. By the Word. That He might present
it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or
any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. Do you remember what He told
His disciples? He said in John 15 verse 3, Now
ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you. You've
been cleansed through the Word that I spoke unto you. So this
labor is Christ. And this water is the Holy Spirit
of God and the Word of God that Christ gives. It's the Gospel
we preach, it's the Scriptures. Christ cleanses us of daily defilement. through the preaching of the
gospel, through his holy word, through the Holy Spirit of God.
That's how he cleanses us of daily defilement. Now, why do
we need this washing? What is this defilement? What
is he talking about? Why do we need this washing?
Well, you picture those priests as they go about their daily
work. And their hands would be in constant contact with death. Constantly. They get blood on
their hands. They are in constant contact
with that which symbolizes death. Death is on their hands. And
you remember, the Lord didn't make them any shoes. This is
holy ground where they are. So they don't have shoes on.
And their feet would get dirty. In our everyday lives, we constantly
come into contact with death. With our sinful flesh. and with
this world, we're constantly coming into death. Now, all of
you who believe will understand what I'm saying here. We start
out the week and we're renewed. We've come to the fountain and
we're renewed and we're strengthened in what we've heard through the
preaching of the gospel by the Holy Spirit and it's all been
given to us from Christ. But it doesn't take very long
at all and we start to become defiled. Very quickly, our minds
start to be taken up with our jobs, with our responsibilities,
with our troubles and our trials, and they become set on self. We become set on self, and we
become set on the world rather than Christ. And that's sad,
but that's true. Our old man of sin becomes stronger
and our new man becomes weaker. We start to have an unloving
spirit replace a loving spirit. We start to have an unforgiving
spirit replace a forgiving spirit. We start to have strife and envy
to replace joy and peace. Self-righteous pride of our old
man begins to replace the sin-hating, meek and contrite new man. Sometimes the devil accuses us. His goal is to separate you from
Christ. His goal is to get your eye off
Christ, your mind off Christ. He wants to turn you from Christ. He wants to feed you self-righteousness. He wants to feed and appeal to
your pride. And we start to become haughty. We start to become arrogant judges
of one another. And we try to do, or He'll do
this. He'll convince you of sin, accuse
you, accuse you, accuse you. And He'll make you start trying
to do something to make up for that sin and soothe your conscience. or he'll make you start accusing
your brethren like he's an accuser. But any of this, we got to be
cleansed from it. We become like Martha, we become
cumbered about with all these different cares of the world,
legitimate cares of the world, but we become cumbered about.
And we get upset with one another, we get upset with our brethren,
we become judges. Forget who we are. Forget what
Christ done for us. Forget who we're depending on.
And the longer we're in the world, the longer that goes on. And
the stronger it becomes. The purpose of this cleansing
was so the priest could have communion with God. That's what
the brazen altar, they came there to offer thank offerings. At
this point, that was what they were talking about, they come
there to offer thank offerings, burnt offerings to God and thanksgiving
to God. Worship, communion. They entered
the holy place to go to the golden altar of incense where they would
have communion with God in prayer. This is a picture of communion.
Communion. Without communion with God, we
die. That's what the Lord said, they
got to wash lest they die. They can't have communion with
God and they'll die if we don't have communion with God. When
we're defiled, when we become unclean, taken up with some sinful
act or our minds are turned away from Christ, we're taken up with
the things of this world, We're like a branch on the vine that's
beginning to break from the vine, just barely holding on to that
vine. And if that vine is severed,
if that branch is severed from that vine, it'll die. We've got
to have the sap, we've got to have that life from Christ to
keep us alive, to keep us alive. And so Christ washes us from
those defilements that He might give us communion with Holy God
our Father and His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. God's holy. He hates sin. He can't receive
us unless we be cleansed. They couldn't go in the holy
place unless their hands and their feet were washed. Revelation
21, 22 says, There shall no wise enter into God's holy presence
anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie. Only those that are written in
the Lamb's book of life. Who shall ascend into the holy
hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in His holy presence? He that hath clean hands and
a pure heart. who had not lifted up his soul
unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully." But you know when a believer
becomes overcome with a hard, self-righteous, condemning spirit,
when we're taken up with sins and cares of this world and our
minds are on all those things, you don't have communion with
God. I've sat where you've sat before
and not be able to hear the gospel because my mind was too defiled
with other things. We have to look diligently, lest
any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness
springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. If a believer is anxious about
his work, or he is overly anxious about his family, or he is overcome
with some outward sin, he cannot have communion with God. God's
holy. We may go through the motions,
but our mind's a thousand miles away. We have no communion with
God. We're thinking, we're sitting
there, if we're in this condemning spirit, you know what we do when
we hear the gospel? I hope they're hearing that.
Or we get up and read a scripture, just throwing an arrow right
at somebody on purpose. God's not in that. That's a wicked,
hard, condemning spirit, what that is. That's self-righteousness. We've got to be cleansed from
it. We've got to be washed by the water, by the Word. We've
got to be washed by the Holy Spirit renewing us. Then we enter
into communion with God. We have an illustration of this
and how this labor was made. Look over at Exodus 38. in verse
8. It says, And he made the laver of
brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the looking-glasses
of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. Before they left Egypt, Remember
the Lord made the Egyptians give all these possessions to the
Israelites. Before they left Egypt, the Egyptian
women gave these looking glasses to the Israelite women. These
looking glasses were polished. They didn't have a mirror in
them. They were just polished brass and the ladies could see
themselves in that. Now get the picture of that.
What is that? That's the world giving you something so that
you're turned to look at yourself. That's what it was. That's what's
pictured in the looking glasses. And that's this defilement we're
talking about. Being turned by our sin and the world to look
at ourselves. Vanity. Well, the Lord sent His
preacher and He sent His Word to them. And He made them willing
in their hearts to let go of those looking glasses And they
melted those brass looking glasses and made this laver that pictures
Christ. And the picture is of God sending
the gospel to us, washing us with the word, washing us by
the Holy Spirit, turning us from looking at ourselves to looking
at Christ. That's what this washing's about.
Do we need that daily? You better believe we need that
daily. We need that daily. So God gets the glory. Now, it's
our responsibility to come wash. Moses didn't wash them here.
He washed them before. That's washing the regeneration.
We have nothing to do with that. But they had to come to this
fountain. And we have a responsibility to come. But in the fact that
God sent his preacher with his gospel, in the very thing that
this picture we see, Christ is going to be the first cause.
He's going to cleanse you before the cleansing. He's going to
make you willing to come. He's going to make you willing
to look into the Word and then cleanse you with it. So He gets
the glory for this. Yes, if I don't come, if I don't
come here to the Gospel, if I don't look into God's Word, if I don't
seek Christ, it's my fault because I have a responsibility to do
it. But if I do it, He's going to get the glory because He brought
me there. He made me willing. So lastly now, let's get right
down to it. How does Christ perform this
cleansing work? How does He do it? Turn over
to Zechariah chapter 12. Zechariah 12. He makes you willing
to come hear the gospel, to come to the fountain for cleansing.
He makes you willing to go to His Word and He blesses it through
the Holy Spirit. He pours out the water of the
Holy Spirit. Look here, Zechariah 12, 10. I will pour, that's what you
do with water, isn't it? Remember Christ said, I'll sprinkle
clean water upon you and you'll be clean from all your filthiness.
I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants
of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. I'll do
this. I'll pour it on them. Christ
pours on us the Holy Spirit of grace. He brings you to the Word. He pours out the water of the
Word. And He does it by pouring out
the Spirit of grace and supplication. The Holy Spirit enters in and
makes the Word effectual. The Spirit of grace. What do
you reckon that's going to produce? What do you reckon the spirit
of grace is going to produce? It's going to produce a sinner
that loves grace. It's going to produce a sinner
who supplicates God for grace. And it's going to make a sinner
gracious. That's what it's going to do. That's right. If I'm condemning
and hard, that's not a spirit of grace. What's my problem? I need to be cleansed. I don't
have communion with God. He hasn't poured on me this spirit
of grace and supplication. I need it poured out all over
again. But when He does that, He's going to make you love grace.
He's going to make you seek grace. Free favor. Not work. Free favor. And He's going to make you gracious
because He gave you that free favor. You see, you see, if it
wouldn't have been for His grace, I wouldn't have been saved from
this defilement. I need it every day. I need it
every hour. And He gives it every day, every
hour. How can I not be gracious? And
then as He does this, He makes us behold Christ. Christ makes
us behold Christ. And not just beholding Christ,
He makes us behold our sins piercing Christ. Look here in verse 10. I will pour out the Spirit of
grace and of supplication and they shall look upon me whom
they have pierced and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth
for his only son and shall be in bitterness for him as one
that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day there
shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem. You know when we are
going to mourn our sin? Well, first, do you know when
we're going to see our sin? You're not going to see your
sin by simply reading in the Word
that you shouldn't do this and see your sin. That's not going
to make you more than your sin. When you're guilty because you
know, well, the Bible says I shouldn't do this and I'm doing it, that's
not going to make you more than your sin. Oh, that might make
you try to do something to cover it up, put it away yourself.
There's a repentance to be repented of though. What's going to make
you mourn your sin? What's going to make you see
your sin as obnoxious and mourn it? When you behold your sin,
is what crucified Christ. Whatever that besetting sin is
that has overcome you, when he pours out the spirit of grace
and supplication and makes you see, that very sin nailed Christ
to the cross. That's when we begin to mourn
sin aright. That's when we begin to see our
sin as a horridly evil thing. So hated by God that He sent
His only begotten Son to bear my sin that it might be put away. I had to die because of my sin. That's when you'll start hating
your sin. You don't hate your sin by learning the doctrine
of depravity. No, we have to be made to see
Christ bearing our sin. That's when we'll hate the doctrine
of depravity. I mean the sin of our depravity. We have to be made to see it
was our sin, my sin, personally that crucified Him. The naughty
whip, the rugged nails, in vain do I accuse. In vain I blame
the Roman band and the more spiteful Jews. "'Twas you my sin, my cruel
sin,' his chief tormentors were. Each of your crimes became a
nail and your unbelief a spear. "'Twas you, you that pulled vengeance
down upon his guiltless head. Break, break my heart, weep my
eyes. He died in your stead.'" You
see what he's saying? That's what he's saying. We have
to be made to see our sin crucifying Christ to hate the sin and be
granted repentance from it. It's impossible to behold our
sin on Christ and not mourn. It's impossible to be unforgiving
and unmerciful and unloving and self-justifying and behold our
sin laid on Christ. How do you know that? Because
the spirit of grace and supplication is effectual. That's how I know
it. And that's the only way we behold Him. It's not hearing
with these ears. The Pharisees heard with these
ears. This fountain wasn't for the Pharisees because they didn't
see their need of a Redeemer. They didn't see their need of
a substitute. What did it result in? They pointed
their finger and pointed their finger and accused and accused
and blamed and blamed and blamed Christ Himself. When we are made
by the Spirit of grace and supplication to see our sin on Christ, He
turns that finger around to yourself. And you see, it's my sin that
condemned him. And it's impossible to behold
that and not fall on your face before God. When John saw him,
what did he do? I fell on my face as a dead man. Turn to Zechariah 13, or look
there at Zechariah 13 verse 1. In that day, When you are brought
to mourn and you are weeping and you see your sins on Christ,
in that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David and
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. This fountain was perpetual throughout
their generation. This fountain still exists today
for you and me, believer. When He brought you to this point,
Christ continues all our days and through the preaching of
Christ crucified, He sends this Spirit, the Holy Spirit of grace
and supplication and He washes us from our uncleanness. He makes
us behold our sin in His face and He makes us plunge into that
fountain and wash these defilements from us. You know the sick child
pushes away the medicine, but they have great need for the
medicine. And when we need the Word most, when we need the Gospel,
the preaching of the Gospel most, and we need to be in the Word
of God most, is when we don't want to be. Isn't that right? When we need it most, you don't
feel like hearing the Gospel. When you need it most, you don't
much want to pick the Word up and read it. Believer, come hear the Gospel
anyway. Do it anyway. Do to yourself
like you would to that sick child. Take the medicine anyway. Come
hear the gospel preached. Go to the Word of God. Read the
Word of God. James 4.8 says, draw nigh to
God and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be afflicted and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to
mourning. Let your joy to heaviness. What's
he saying? Humble yourselves in the sight
of the Lord and He shall lift you up. See, when we come to
hear the gospel preached, if we really come to hear it and
seek and need it, by coming a believer is saying, I'm submitting to
God. I don't think I'm going to be
able to hear anything. He's going to have to bless it. He always
does. He always does, and that's the only way we can hear. But
He promises to pour out the water, the Word, and bless it with the
Spirit of the Holy Spirit and cause us to hear and cleanse
us and make us behold that fountain open. Where will shall a young
man cleanse his way? By taking heed to the Word of
the Lord. Come to the water of the Word.
Come to the water of the Word. Christ will send the water of
the Spirit. He'll cleanse His child inwardly. He will convince
us of sin and make us hate it and make us repent from it. He
will. Now listen to this, and this
is important. He's not going to do it all at once. He's not
going to just take all your brother's sin away at once. So that means
for you, you're not going to be able to walk around looking
at your brother and examining your brother. Because if you
do, you're going to find sin in him. and he'll find it in you too
if he doesn't. But see, that's what we gotta
be cleansed from. We gotta be cleansed from that. We gotta be cleansed to judge
ourselves that we be not judged. Come to this fountain and behold
your sin on Christ so that you loathe your sin and hate your
sin. That's what the Lord said when
he sprinkles this clean water on us and regenerates. He said,
you're going to see yourselves and you're going to loathe your
own person. That's what he makes you do when he cleanses you with
this fountain. He makes you hate your sin. And
he's the only one that can open up our hands and make us wash
our hands of besetting sins. But he does it. He does it. It don't make you more holy when
he does it because he already made you holy. but it makes you
grow in grace and knowledge of Him. It's Him making you want
to honor Him more in your life and less dishonoring by your
sin. But you still have the inward
sin. You still see the inward sin. It's still there. And let
me remind you of this. If you see sin in your brother,
as bad as you think that sin is, let me assure you something.
It's the tip of the iceberg. You see sin in me, you ain't
really seen the bad stuff. I hadn't even seen all the bad
stuff, but I can tell you in my heart, I know some of it. He keeps cleansing us of that
and purging our conscience so we can see Christ and rejoice
and follow Him. And only He can do this. It's
like what He does in the beginning. Seeing you've purified your souls,
you've purified your soul, you've purified your heart in obeying
the truth, the water of the Word, through the Spirit, through the
water of the Spirit. And what does it result in? Unfeigned
love of the brethren. What do I need to do if I see
a brother and they look like they've been eaten? eating outside
one of them old-fashioned well buckets that's about this long.
Their faces are all drawn and they just make you feel judged
just to be around them. Restore them in the spirit of
meekness. How do I do that? I can't cleanse
them. Nope. But I can point them to the Word.
I can point them to the fountain. I can give them a sermon to listen
to. I can lead them to that fountain
and Christ can cleanse them. That's how we restore one another
in the spirit of meekness. Considering ourselves, don't
get too proud and too arrogant, too haughty, lest you also be
tempted. Lest you think you're something
when you're nothing. Come to the fountain. He'll do the cleansing. He'll do the cleansing. And when
he does the cleansing, you're going to find out he's the one
that brought you to the fountain. He did it all. Now, you're renewed. I hope you've been renewed this
morning through the fountain. And you go out of here renewed
and strengthened. And it won't be very long. And
you'll notice you start getting dirty again. And by this afternoon,
you need to go back to the Word of God and go to the fountain. You wake up in the morning and
by the time you get through rush hour, get to work, as soon as
you get your work finished at 10 o'clock, take your break,
go listen to a message because you need to be cleansed again.
Get your mind back on Christ. Think about Christ. By the end
of the day, I need to listen to a message on the way home.
I'm dirty. By Thursday, I've got to come
back to the fountain. I ain't got filthy. Isn't that
it? Over and over and over. I pray
he'd never let us stop coming to this fountain. Amen.
