David Wilkerson emphasizes the importance of recognizing and listening to God's voice, noting that many Christians have silenced it over time due to distractions and misconceptions. He stresses that before God provides direction in our lives, He first calls us to a place of cleansing, addressing hidden sins and idols in our hearts. Wilkerson reminds us that God desires to be our guide and protector, but this requires honesty and a willingness to let go of our burdens and grudges. The sermon encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with God by confronting their inner struggles and aligning their hearts with His commandments.

Paris Reidhead emphasizes the significance of the laver in the Tabernacle as a symbol of self-examination and spiritual cleansing. He explains that while forgiveness is essential, it is not the end goal; rather, believers must seek a deeper relationship with God through the Word and the Holy Spirit. The laver, lined with mirrors and filled with water, represents the need for Christians to confront their motives and the true nature of their hearts. Reidhead challenges the congregation to not settle for mere forgiveness but to pursue a transformative relationship with Christ that leads to spiritual growth and intimacy with God. He concludes by urging believers to maintain a posture of brokenness and continual cleansing to experience the fullness of God's blessings.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes the transformative reign of King Josiah, who undertook a thorough cleansing of idolatry and sin from the land, leading to a Passover celebration unlike any seen before. He highlights the necessity of self-examination and purging of inconsistencies in our lives to fully enjoy our relationship with God. Meyer encourages believers to regularly revisit the Scriptures, allowing God's truth to illuminate and refine their lives, much like Josiah rediscovered the neglected Book of the Law. The sermon calls for a renewed devotion to God's will as the ultimate standard for living, urging believers to immerse themselves in the Word for spiritual rejuvenation.

F.B. Meyer reflects on the beauty and purity of a child's flesh, contrasting it with the leprous state of our souls. He emphasizes that through Jesus, we can experience not just forgiveness but a complete cleansing, returning to a state of youthful purity. Meyer highlights the importance of childlike qualities such as humility, unselfishness, trust, and love, which Jesus imparts to us. He distinguishes between childishness, which we must outgrow, and childlikeness, which we should aspire to as we grow in Christ. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to embrace these childlike attributes to reflect the nature of Christ.
