Good Morning,
I will be leaving our house just a little later this morning. The day began with prayer and a hot cup of Door County White Christmas Coffee.
Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
The colorfast nature of scarlet and crimson dyes is similar to our sins, and “the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance” ( “According to the great plan of the Eternal God there must be an atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish”)
God calls us to sit down and listen to reason, Our sins and mistakes are our own. And they discolor our life. Yet the stain does not have to be our end all. Yes there are consequences to sin, but because of God's plan the penalty was paid at the cross of Christ. God uses the metaphor of two dyes that back then and even now are considered permanent. This shows the great power of the Savior. Although we are consumed by our sins and their consequences the love of Jesus washes away the stain of sin in the eyes of God. We become washed as white as a new fallen snow. This only comes with a true desire to repent and at all costs avoid staining our lives again.
Friends, there is hope for tomorrow and it all starts for some at the cross of atonement,
Food for thought.
Marty
