White Out and The Law

So anyways...
-Nacho Libre

I was at work a couple of days ago and I broke my White Out dispenser. Now where I work, we use pen
for everything so this kind of sucked. I went from being able to make a mistake and fix it - to not being able
to make a mistake at all. This tragic event led me to think about something. Here are those thoughts.

I was thinking about the Old Testament and the Old Covenant Law. These both demanded perfection from
those who followed them. If you broke the law (or sinned) you would have to go through a process of
redemption and purification. Which included sacrificing various animals and going through various rituals. I think
this would put a massive amount of stress on an individual to make his or herself perfect. You would NOT want
to make a mistake because of the rigorous routine you would have to go through to undue that mistake. What
pressure you would have on yourself to be perfect! Just like losing my white out, I no longer had the luxury of
making a mistake. I now had to be perfect with everything I did, it was a little stressful.

Jesus is our White Out.

He doesn't give us permission to sin, but if we do mess up he forgives us and WHITES
our sin out. Thank God for what he went through so we never run out of "sin white out". We would be a mess
without Christ and his sin forgiving power. I would hate to go through life having to TRY to be perfect all the
time, instead of just living in Gods Grace.

dan the man out!
