“and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.”
Leviticus 14:52-53 KJV
As LORD and Owner of the Israelites, God was taking care of everything, including the purity of their bodies and houses as God commanded Moses. In the new covenant, we are in Christ. Not only we ourselves, but all that we own, all our belongings are His. Since God dwells in our house, we are the tenants and He the Owner, being His good stewards! We don’t follow the rituals of old covenant cleansing and purifying, but keep our dwellings clean and sanctified. Since every spiritual blessing is ours in Christ, every single article in our homes is blessed. Not the blood of a bird, but the precious Blood of Jesus is sprinkled in our house and we enjoy God’s glorious Presence. We call our walls salvation and our gates praise. Hallelujah!
