THE FOUNTAIN OF CLEANSING

β€œOn that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. β€œOn that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the Lord Almighty. β€œI will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. Zechariah 13:1

“In that day,” occurs eighteen times from chapter 9:16 through 14:21. This shows how precious “that day” is to the Messiah’s Heart. In that day, His Victory over the enemies of His People will be great, but greater will be His Moral Victory over His People themselves.

The Christian’s true triumphs are God’s Triumphs over him and God’s Triumphs over His are their only victories.

This fountain of which Zechariah speaks was historically opened at Calvary, but will be consciously opened to repentant Judah in the future day of her repentance; but the fact and function of that fountain only become conscious to the awakened sinner.

A true sense of sin and guilt in relationship to God awakens the sense of the need of cleansing; so the shed and cleansing Blood of the Lamb of God becomes precious to convicted conscience. The fear of punishment does not come in here to impair the character and depth of Judah’s sorrow and repentance.

The Ever-Living efficacy of Christ’s atoning Work and its power to cleanse the conscience and the life is justly comparable to a fountain. The sense of the Hebrew Text is that this fountain shall be opened and shall remain open.

Of all sinners, the Jerusalem sinner may be accounted the greatest. It was Jerusalem that stoned the Prophets and that crucified the Messiah. Great sinners, therefore, may hope for pardon and cleansing in this fountain open for the House of David.

The entrance of Christ judges sin, unmasks its true character, and arouses a moral consciousness which approved that judgement. Israel must accept Christ and what He did at the Cross in order for sin to be judged, the same as any other believing sinner.

LET’S PRAY.
May the fountain filled with Blood drawn from Immanuel’s vein which possessed cleansing power flow over your life to bring total freedom and joy!
Grace speaks, Grace elevates, Grace distinguishes, Grace repositions, Grace makes great, Grace never suffers disgrace, Grace paves way, Grace gives strength. When there is a casting down, God’s Grace brings unbelievable lifting. You will enjoy the Abundance of God’s Grace in Jesus precious name. By the grace of God, those things that trouble you, powers, personalities you will not see them anymore in the mighty name of Jesus. Peace shall be with you today and forevermore because the fountain filled with Blood drawn from Immanuel’s vein has cleansing power in Jesus glorious name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
