OUTLINE: DEEPER LIFE DAILY MANNA TODAY 17TH MARCH 2021 DEVOTIONAL
On 17th November, 2019, a disease called COVID-19 broke out in China and became a global pandemic, which infected and killed several thousands of people. It was a contagious disease which could only be prevented by maintaining physical distancing between individuals, regular washing of hands and the use of nose masks. Anyone who realised that he had had contact with an infected person was to go for quarantine for about 14 days, to determine if he had been infected or not.
The text of today also deals with laws concerning ceremonial cleansing from defilement arising from bodily emissions and any other unhygienic condition. Whoever had bodily emission considered to be unclean could not be touched, else, the person that touched him became unclean too. Part of the purification rites involved washing oneself and clothes in a running water and staying away from the camp for seven days.
This would prevent the defilement from spreading. While certain ceremonial uncleanness remained only till evening and was terminated by bathing, people with other types might have to remain outside the camp even after healing for the next seven days to ensure full recovery, after which they would then carry out cleansing rites involving sin offering and a burnt offering.
In Christendom, nothing could be more defiling and contagious than sin. It disqualifies a person from being in the congregation of saints. Believers are warned not to toy with sin or be yoked unequally with unbelievers. They should, constantly examine themselves and run away from every appearance of evil while sinners and backsliders should seek pardon and cleansing in the blood of Jesus through genuine repentance and restitution.
Thought For Today: The only way to stop the spread of sin is not to sin.
