If you haven’t seen the Tide pen commercial yet where the stain speaks gibberish over the person at a job interview it will leave you in stiches.

But there is significant comparisons in our lives when it comes to the stain of sin.  In the commercial the job applicant is trying to tell his potential employer about all the achievements he’s made but none of it can be heard because of the stain speaking loudly over top of the applicants voice. 

 How similar does sin overshadow our lives and become a nagging persistant voice overpowering our own thoughts and efforts.  Has the devil ever told you that you were no good?  That you’ll never amount to anything.  That you are so messed up you’ll never make it in life.  That’s just like the stain in the Tide commercial.  Speaking loudly over what you are trying to accomplish.

 The stain of sin is real, it is a dark blot on our spirit’s and it keeps us seperated from the love of God.  But as we come close to celebrating Easter Sunday; don’t forget about the cleansing blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ who gave the ultimate sacrifice and shed his blood for the remission of our sin.  Talk about a cleaning.

 The old hymn says it best.  What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus.  What can make me whole again nothing but the blood of Jesus.  Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow.  No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

 Blessings,

 Pastor John
