Whiter Than Snow

The temperature is hovering around 0° and snow is falling hard. Winter is back. After weeks of driving on road grime, it's hard to tell the color of my truck. But all of that dirt and grit and grime has disappeared- just like that- under a blanket of white. This is what God does in regard to our sins. Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord, "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."

 FORGIVENESS- a FRESH START- in many respects a NEW LIFE- is available to EVERY person at EVERY moment. No matter what you've done, God stands ready to forgive. This is 'amazing grace.' John Newton, who once captained a slaving ship, was radically saved through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. God called him to preach the gospel, and he wrote the most famous worship song in history. It begins, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see." Come to Jesus. Get on your knees. Pour your heart out. Right now, wherever you are, he will wash your sins 'whiter than snow.' Be blessed! -Pastor Brad
