Those Embarrassing Stains
“Let thy garments be always white.”
How can we do this, for they are soiled again soon after they have been washed clean? But God says we are to let them always to be white. It is not an impossible thing if He tells us to do it. Yet it is understandable that we would think it so.
After all, I cannot keep my garments white for five minutes. A careless thought, a wrong word, an uncharitable deed—all these put a dark stain upon my white garments and make me feel ashamed. Anyone other than our precious Lord would give up on me in disgust. But He is more longsuffering than anyone who ever walked this earth.
Thank God He has provided a spot remover that keeps my garments continually white and clean, and it leaves no circle to remind me that it was there. “The blood of Jesus Christ...cleanseth us from all sin.” By simply acknowledging and confessing each sin, we can keep our garments continually white. In Heaven, John describes us as those who “have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
