Apparently it has snowed in the last couple of weeks! The news and internet social networks were full of little else but pictures and stories about people encountering the white stuff. To open the curtains in the morning and see everything covered in fresh snow is a truly beautiful sight. There is something amazing about familiar scenery looking so dramatically different and so pure and clean. Let us not become so familiar with the landscape of our lives that we lose the wonder of the fact that God has made us as fresh and clean as the snow. What a mystery that despite our sin and weakness, God looks at us through the lens of the price that Jesus paid for us at the cross and sees us as righteous and pure. As the hymn writer said: “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, Sin has left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.” Or in the words of the propet Isaiah…
“though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18) |
