Spring Snowstorm & Sin

Ironically, after my post on Spring and how there was
"just a few small dirty snowbanks left to remind us that the temperatures are not quite warm yet" ,
we here in Maine got hit by a heavy "Spring Snow-storm".
It was one of the largest snow storms of this winter season, even though it was actually in the spring.


I once again remembered, that the scriptures tell us, that "though our sins are scarlet as blood, He (Jesus) washes us and makes us whiter(cleaner) then a new-fallen snow".
Isaiah 1:18 (my paraphrase)


WOW!
A new fallen snow makes everything look fresh and new.
Even the dead trees have a new though temporary beauty.
And once the sun comes;
out a field covered in a new snowfall
then sparkles like a field of nature's diamonds.
WOW. God cleanses us by Jesus blood and makes us as clean as the whitest thing in earth.

I cannnot think of anything whiter then snow, here on earth.
Clothing, animal furs, paint, the clouds.
Nothing else is so white that it sparkles in the sun.
Only snow.
And to think when our sins are as guilty blood,
Jesus (when we repent and trust in His Blood),
makes us as clean and as white as the new fallen snow.
That is the love and mercy of God.

Sincerely in Christ,
Pastor Bill

PS Diamonds and jewelry sparkle in light but they are not the color white.
Diamonds are a symbol of perfection but that is another devotional.
