"I saw the holy city coming down from the sky, from God," Revelation 21:2.
The City. The holy one. God's city. From the sky. Where God rules. Sky kingdom. Entrance ever opens to the City. Both the Spirit and the Bride shout to earthlings, Come! Enter! Are you thirsty? Come, and freely drink priceless life water! To be noted, however, excluded from the City's open door policy are all impure people, doers of shameful deeds, liars, dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral people, idol worshippers, lovers of lies, people judged guilty by God. But, in exception to all these sinners, inside the City are all people whose dirty linens have been washed clean. And they join the invite to all outsiders, Come! Sky kingdom. Pure. Blessed.
Today, we repent anew from sin that besets us. We enjoin a brother or sister in confession of Jesus, forgiver of souls, as Lord. And, together, we give thanks for his blood sacrifice that renders us pure. Washed clean for ever.
