Monday Advent 1:
"Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. " Isaiah chapter 1
Well.... if there was any doubt about what God is asking of us, our readings from morning prayer have answered that question. Again and again scripture says it is what we do for the sake of others that matters to God. I found it interesting that being made clean, at least in my reading today, is equated with ministry with and for others. For me it brings images of baptism and the covenant that we are brought into by water and the Spirit... what will each of do today to be made clean?
