An unclean status is not necessarily a sinful state. Definitions of uncleanness in the Old Testament are often governed by ritualistic requirements as well as designed for hygiene reasons. The notion that one's spiritual state is directly determined by observance of cleanliness is a latter day obsession of religious clergies during Jesus' time. Rev Dr William Chang at today's sermon stressed that no one is clean in spiritual terms. All of us need Jesus. As members of the church, we should be inclusive to embrace the imperfections of our brothers and sisters in Christ. We must also reach out boldly to pre-believing residents in our community who have yet received God's grace of redemption through the Gospel.
