A man bought a very expensive suit at a fine men’s
store for a very special upcoming occasion.
Fitted to perfection the man and the
store manager admired the tailor’s bespoke work
and the man left the store,
excited to wear it at an elegant affair that evening.
While getting dressed, as he was putting his pen into an inside pocket
he accidentally brushed the open tip on the lapel making a long,
prominent indelible mark. In doing so,
the once perfect, spotless coat was now ruined.
Sin on our lives is exactly like this.
Just as we could not stand before others with a
marked garment, we likewise cannot
stand before God with the mark of sin on our lives.
However, here is the Good News:
(i.e. the Gospel!)
“The Blood of Jesus Christ…
Cleanseth us from ALL sin”
1 John 1:7
Friend, there is no amount of cleansing that we ourselves
can do to erase the stain of sin on our lives!
Jesus said, if we lived a perfect life, yet
were errant in just One Small Mark, it would not
make us pure enough to stand before God, however
for those that trust and believe in Christ,
God’s Word promise is that he shall wash
away every mark of sin, make us clean,
and make us 'whiter than snow'
“Pure and Blameless.”
If you have not asked Christ for His forgiveness
that will cleanse you from the deep marks of sin
on your life, will you do that right now?
That mark does not have to be permanent.
