After
David committed adultery with Bathsheba, he wrote, “Wash me and I shall be
whiter than snow.” (Psalm 51:7). Why did he say “whiter than snow”? Even a
fresh snowflake isn’t entirely white. On every snowflake you will find a tiny
speck of dust that it picks up while falling. Even though it’s white, it’s not
completely clean.
Jesus
shed His blood on the cross for a reason—it “cleanses us from all sin” (1 John
1:7). Not some sin. All sin. His blood is the only hope we have to be cleansed. Suppose you get a spot on your
clothes. The cleaners use a chemical on it that’s stronger than the spot. Your
sins make dirty spots on your soul. The only thing more powerful than your sins
is Jesus’ blood.
The
Bible tells us people in heaven are clothed in white robes (Rev. 7:13). Do you
think anyone in heaven will be wearing a white robe except for one or two dirty
spots? No one in heaven will say, “There were a couple of sins the blood of
Jesus couldn’t get out.”
David
is in heaven wearing a robe whiter than snow. “They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb” (Rev. 7:14). Normally blood on a robe makes it red. But the blood of
Jesus makes the robes white. Every saved person’s robe went through a washing
machine at the cross. When Jesus washes you with His blood,
no sin can stay of the robe. Have you been washed? www.makinglifecount.net
