CLEAN & UNCLEAN

(Mark 7:15, 18-23 GNT)

# There is nothing that goes into you from the outside which can make you ritually unclean.
# Rather, it is what comes out of you that makes you unclean.
# Jesus said to them. “Don't you understand?
# Nothing that goes into you from the outside can really make you unclean, because it does not go into your heart but into your stomach and then goes on out of the body.”
(In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten.) 
# And He went on to say, “It is what comes out of you that makes you unclean.
# For from the inside, from your heart, come the evil ideas which lead you
  * to do immoral things,
  * to rob,
  * kill,
  * commit adultery,
  * be greedy, and
  * do all sorts of evil things;
     deceit, indecency, jealousy, slander, pride, and folly—
# all these evil things come from inside you and make you unclean.”

Be watchful to remain CLEAN..

LITTLE LOWER YET HIGHER

(Hebrews 2:6-9 NLT)

# For in one place the Scriptures say,
“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
or
a son of man that you should care for him?

# Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels
and
crowned them with glory and honor.

# You gave them authority over all things.”

# Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out.

# But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.

# What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position
“a little lower than the angels”;
and because He suffered death for us,
He is now “crowned with glory and honor.”

# Yes, by God’s grace,
Jesus tasted death for everyone.

HUMAN BEINGS AND THE SON OF GOD

( Hebrews 2:14-18 NLT)

—the Son also became flesh and blood.
# For only as a human being could He die, and
# only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
# Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

# We also know that the Son did not come to help angels;
# He came to help the descendants of Abraham.
# Therefore, it was necessary for Him to be made in every respect like us, His brothers and sisters, so that He could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God.
# Then He could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.
# Since He himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested.

ANGELS TO CARE FOR YOU

“Let all of God’s angels worship Him.”

Regarding the angels, He says,
“He sends His angels like the winds, His servants like flames of fire.”

But to the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice. You love justice and hate evil.
Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”

He also says to the Son,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.
They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing.
But you are always the same; you will live forever.”
