One morning I spilled coffee all over the kitchen counter and
reached for a bright white cotton towel to clean it up.
In one swipe the counter was clean and dry,
but now a pristine towel had a dark stain on it.
In others words, In Order For Something To Get CLEAN -
Something Else Had To Get DIRTY.
Sin in our lives is like that too.
Our souls are darkened with the crimson stain of sin and nothing can
clean it unless something else GETS DIRTY and
that “Something Else” was the pure clean
Blood of Christ.
Hebrews 9:14 says “How much more will the blood of Christ …
cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
It was at the cross where Jesus “(Sanctified) the people through His own blood” -
and that word (sanctify) means to make clean and holy. It was his blood that
transferred the crimson stain off of you and onto him:
“For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin;
that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21
Something got dirty at the cross, and it was the
pure blood of Christ that wiped away your sins.
Friend, no matter how many or terrible things you’ve done in your life
no past sin is so unforgiveable that God in His Mercy
cannot wipe it clean and make it
“Whiter Than Snow” (Psalm 51:7)
All you need do is sincerely ask God to wipe away
your sin from and he will forgive you.
The dirty counter of spilled sins in your life can be wiped clean.
He will, if you ask Him.
