Pure - free of contamination - not mixed or adulterated with any material or substance - without any extraneous and unnecessary elements. Clean, clear, fresh, sparkling, pure.
It's pretty hard to find something or someone that is pure these days. But it's always been hard. That's because there has only been one pure, perfect, holy man that has ever lived. His name was Jesus. The only way we can be pure is through Him.
David says in the Psalms - "Create in me a pure heart O God."
Jesus says in the Beatitudes - "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
And John says in his epistle - "All who hope in Him purify themselves as He is pure."
There is a health and nutrition organization called PURE - People United Reaching Everyone. I think that would be a good slogan for the Christian Church - People United Reaching Everyone.
May we reach out to all people this season with the pure good news gospel message of the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
