John 15:3 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 15:3

Jesus declares the disciples clean through his received word. Cleanness here is relational and spiritual, not bodily hygiene, perfection, or freedom from future mistakes.

Memory phrase: Clean through Jesus’ word

Talk about it: What kind of cleanness is Jesus describing?

Prayer: Jesus, thank you for your restoring word.
