Christmas White

It is the Christmas season. I know I haven't written much lately and it won't get much better until January. However, here is the last Sunday's advent devotion and I will post this Sunday's soon. Thanks for reading.


Christmas White

Isaiah 1:18
18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

2 Corinthians 5:17

17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
White is often thought of as the color of purity and innocence. These are two of the most fitting words to use in describing Baby Jesus. He was and is pure. He grew up and lived a sinless life. His innocence allowed Him to be the perfect sacrifice for the sin of the world. He did what none of us could ever do. Wipe our own sin away.

The color white reminds us that God thinks we are worth His time. He thinks enough of us to clean up our cluttered hearts and make us pure because He is pure. We are allowed to start all over just like a blank sheet of paper waiting for adventures to be written on its surface.

Sometimes we may be tempted to think of the blankness of the color white. White may seem a little boring and dull but remember it is the background of white that allows the other colors to show up best. When God forgives us we have a new background of life so that all of our experiences may be the best they can be because we are forgiven.

This Christmas let us celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior who makes the color white an exciting part of our walk with Him.
