Clean room

Fujiko Signs

I used to work in a semiconductor manufacturing industry, where I first got acquainted with the words clean room. Your cellphones and computers have tiny chips that have been made in a clean room. In case you’re not familiar with it, it is a working environment that has a very low level of environmental pollutants.

So, one day, entering into church, I thought, “Hey! This is my clean room where I shouldn’t bring any ‘dust thought, or particles.’ ” In fact, if I can see every space I step into as a clean room, I will be more disciplined to leave worldly thoughts out—such as anger, resentment, and greed.

Christ Jesus spoke of himself as living in this world, but not being of it. He seemed to breathe in a mentally polluted environment, but since he was not made of it, he could not blend into such an environment or be influenced by any pollutants.

Like Jesus, we did not come from dust, and we have nothing to do with dust. We are made in a divine clean room, in the image and likeness of God. We are pure, perfect, and spiritually beautiful.
