The Word came forth to wash the world just like the washing of the Word of God does to us by His precious Holy Spirit of truth breathing in and on us... Titus 3:4-7 ...washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost,... Eph 5:26-27 washing of water by the word...
Titus 3:4-7 But after that
the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by
the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on
us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his
grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Ephesians 5:26-27 That he
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or
any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Regeneration means Rebirth.
So the washing of Rebirth. Baptism of
Rebirth. You must be born again of the
Spirit. The Word was made flesh (John
1:14).... Jesus said the words I speak are spirit and they are life (John
6:63). Jesus said Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken
unto you (John 15:3). Jesus said in John 17:4 to the Father that he had
finished the work which the Father had given him to do... but he hadn't gone to
the cross or whipping post yet.. so how could he say it was done at that
point?... because....
....the Word had finished
the work of washing the world in His Word.... even the Lamb had been washed
according to the law already. Now the Lamb was going forth to finish His
work.... and as we know ...
It Is Finished.
Now let His Word wash you
in the testimony of the Father .... the witness of the Father being Written In
You... the testimony of the Son! The
Father’s Word working in you… washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the
Holy Ghost… which is shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
