“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Isaiah 1:18

I enjoy watching snowflakes fall. There is something peaceful about the beauty of the snowflakes gently dancing down to the earth. With the amount of snow we have had in recent days, everything has been blanketed in white. The snow will eventually melt away, but for now everything looks different and new. The pavement and mud and grass are now snow white. The prophet Isaiah relayed what God had to say about our sins and snow. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” What was dirty and stained has become wooly white. Christ’s blood is better than bleach! As you dig out your driveway from a mound of snow or look out your window at your snow covered lawn, give God thanks. Our sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb. What was once stained is now cleaner than clean because of Christ Jesus. Thank God, His covering of our sin never melts away.  

Beloved, you are loved. Be loved. Go love.
