A Word (or two) from Mark

Recently I was praying through Psalm 51.  I was confessing some sin in my life that I needed to talk to the Lord about.  I was struck by the word hyssop.  David writes, “purify me with hyssop and I shall be clean…”.  I asked, what does hyssop do?  Off to a bible search program and I found the answer.  Hyssop isn’t a soap.  It is a small bush or flower of sorts.   It was used by the priests to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice on the altar.  All of a sudden my cleansing became clear to me.
