Too Many Dishes

 

His breathe slipped away, vaporizing before my sees.  He is the one man who stood strong for his beliefs in God.  He taught me how a man should treat me by taking me out to dinner and asking about the young men I would date and bring to church.  He is my dad.  Not my biological father, but the man who taught me what a God-fearing man was.  I looked around the kitchen and stood in amazement at the mess, it was just cleaned yesterday, what happened.  After receiving the sad phone call this morning, I’ve been in shock that he could leave this world. 

Well, they just can’t sit there nor can they wait til after the funeral so I rolled up my sleeve and put on some yellow vinyl gloves.  Watching water wash over each dish I was reminded that God forgives all of our sins and it washes off of us as if we were never dirty.  With a loud swish and gurgle the garbage disposal churned and washed away anything I removed from the dishes.  God does the same thing for us, He washes away our sins as white as snow if we ask Him to.  It doesn’t matter what it was nor how long it had been stuck on you, God will remove it and cast it into the deepest sea waters as if it never happened.  In this fallen world there are still consequences for our sins, but your burden will be lifted and light as God’s Word, The Bible  tells us.  Will you ask God to forgive you of your sins and ask Him to save you through the sacrifice Jesus gave on the Cross of Calvary, it is that simple?  Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you shall be saved.

 

Bible Verses

  • That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.    (Romans 10:9)
  • “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)
  • “Come now and let us reason together, says the LORD, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)
  • “He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities.  You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7:19)
  •  1 John 5:11-12 says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” Can you say that at this very moment, that you have a personal relationship with God?  Simply ask Him to save you, that you are sorry for your sins and want Jesus to cleanse you of your sins.  Ask Jesus to be the Lord over your life as your Savior.

How do we know Jesus is the One Messiah that was sent by Jehovah God as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins?
