" I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you."
Isaiah 44:22
Our sins were like ominous clouds gathered over our lives, cutting off hope and allowing no light of peace. Though we were hopeless in our condition, this did not inhibit Christ the Redeemer.
Truly, the Son rose upon those who were sitting in darkness. His light dissipated the darkness and drove away the thick clouds of despair. Christ saved us from the peril of our sins. As the morning mist evaporates before the intensity of the sun, Christ wiped away the veil of our transgressions. Jesus redeemed us by His blood, and we belong to God.
Because of this great love, we should give all of ourselves to Him. The call to come to return to God, to serve Him, is based upon God's redeeming love. No greater love have we known than the love of God. There is no kindness or mercy greater than God's. Let us take heed of His call and surrender all to Him. God alone has removed our sins from us as far as the East is from the West.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
