Christ Cleanses His Church

When the apostle John saw the glorified Christ, He recorded in Revelation 1 that Christ’s feet were “like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace.”

In ancient times metals were refined in massive furnaces that were glowing red-hot. The metal was so hot you couldn’t look upon it with the naked eye. So what John saw was blinding, terrifying, intimidating.

Also, bronze in the Bible always symbolizes judgment. The fires that burned on the bronze altar represented the burning anger of God against sin.

What this tells us is that Jesus will judge sin wherever He finds it even if it means purging His church. In Revelation 2 you read of Christ cleansing His church of sin.

Christ wants a pure church. Pray for the purity of the church and pursue purity in your own life. Purity pleases our holy and pure Savior.
