As the keepers of our homes, we do a lot of washing! We wash dishes, clothes, floors, faces, and bottoms! The chore of washing is never finished because all that we wash will become soiled again and again.
It was during the daily washing of my dishes that I was thinking on this. Every time I wash something is an opportunity to remember all Jesus did to wash away our sin. He suffered much to bring permanent cleansing to our souls. Even when we choose unwisely to follow our own desires and sin, we can always come back to Him. His work of washing us white as snow will always stand. His washing is complete.
I am thankful to Him for this. I am reminded every day, all day long that this life is temporary. The washing I do is temporary. But the washing Christ performed is everlasting. Praise be to God!
For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7 |
