Stronger Than Bleach
"Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow..." Isaiah 1:18My youngest daughter just learned about bleach and, as usual, it was at dad's expense. While attempting to follow her mother's instructions to bleach out a spot on an article of her clothing, she inadvertently splashed onto another article of clothing beneath, which she had failed to remove before beginning her laundering chore. She apparently thought nothing of it and was later surprised when her mother showed her what her carelessness had done to my new jean shorts! She'll remember, for years to come, the power of bleach.
Stronger than bleach is God's forgiveness of sin. It not only covers it over, like a blanket of snow, it actually changes it.
"...your sins...shall be white..."
Remarkable! The power of God's forgiveness. Stronger than bleach.
