Laundry day - a day some of us could do without! Mounds of towels, piles of dirty socks, a box of detergent and we are ready to go! Sometimes however, those dirty grimy socks just don't come all the way clean - restored to their newness, their bright white. No matter how many times we wash them, we still see the traces of dirt that was once there. One solution to this laundry dilemma is to use bleach - good old' fashioned bleach. This will restore the bright white we once knew.

Let's examine this laundry dilemma using sin as the dirt in our lives. When we sin, it is a stain upon us. We can try all we can to try to cover it up, make excuses, or ignore it. But the fact remains we have sinned. How can this sin be washed away from us? We can't just toss it in the washer time and again and expect it to 'go away'. Only the blood of Christ can wash us clean.

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,   Revelation 1:5

But how do we do that? How can that be done?

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.   1 John 1:9

We have to call upon God! Only through God and the blood of Christ that He shed for us can we have forgiveness and He will cleanse us - whiter than snow!

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.   Psalm 51:7

Is it laundry day?
