In asia, the lotus flower is the sumbol of purity. Its roots are in the murky water and soil of the pond. It rises out of the pond in a pure environment. Jesus's life is an example to Christians as a pure way of life to try to emulate.
But "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23
Our attempts at purity never lift us out of the murky depths, but Christ's crucifixion lifts us to the purity of His Grace.
