“And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:”
Numbers 19:17-18 KJV
The water of cleansing was made of the ashes of a red heifer mixed with running water. This symbolic water speaks of our purification in Christ. Water symbolises our salvation as well as the cleansing Word of God. As the innocent red heifer was sacrificed, so the Lamb of God was sacrificed to cleanse humanity and take away the sin of the world for eternity, simply by faith in believing the finished work at Calvary. On earth we are cleansed by constantly meditating on the Word of God. This is He that came by water and Blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and Blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. God wants us cleansed, purified and sanctified because He is holy and wants us to be holy so we can have a loving relationship with Him. Amen!
