Cleansing For Spiritual Health

Palm Sunday is a day in our minds and hearts to be set apart. It symbolizes God’s plan of redemption nearing its apex. Jesus Christ was coming into the Holy City on Palm Sunday, with the humblest of coronations as a King. People laid palm leaves and branches at His feet as He rode in on a donkey; all while fulfilling prophecy after prophecy from the Old Testament. What’s interesting about Jesus entering the Holy City is that the very first divine action of the King, Jesus, was that He cleansed the Temple.

The same way that people might do a cleanse or detox of their body, to rid their body of toxins and impurities that are harmful, is the same as what the Scriptures teach about cleansing your heart, soul, and mind. You want to be as active as you can be in living out your faith, and taking care of your family; so you want to take care of your body to be healthy. You also want to cleanse your body for spiritual health by removing counterproductive focuses in your walk with God.
