The word: sanctify

After John 17:17

I considered the word:

sanctify. I considered

that it is a complex word,

deeply layered, so complex

that its simplicity is often

missed. To sanctify is:

to clean, to cleanse,

to wipe away the dirt,

erasing it. To sanctify is:

to separate, to set aside,

to partition from its context,

creating a new one. To sanctify is:

to purify, to make holy,

to establish a temple containing

truth: the word. The end

becomes the means

becomes the end.
