Be Thou Clean by Joseph Alexander Paradis - Inspirational Christian Book for Spiritual Growth & Healing | Perfect for Bible Study, Personal Devotion & Gift Giving

At first glance, this vivid depiction of the Lord symbolizes the renewal that comes with baptism and being cleansed from sin through our Savior’s Atonement. However, on a more personal level, I imagine a few moments where Jesus steps away from the world, and even He himself, is able to take time to enjoy nature and the serenity falling rain can provide. Though He was perfect, His Ministry was clearly not easy. I am grateful for the rain and the cleansing reminder of the Lord that it brings.

Scripture: The Bible - New Testament - Mark 1:41

“And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean."
