Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today

"Clean Is Clean"

Daily Manna's Bible reading: 2 Peter 1:9 (NIV) . . . Colossians 3:15-17

"Clean is clean"--depending on who's speaking! If it's my sons claiming they've "cleaned" their rooms, clean is NOT clean in MOM'S eyes...and when they hung him on the cross, he was not clean either. He was a thief condemned to die--but not for long.

During those excrutiating hours, the thief recognized Someone hanging next to Him who in a split second of time would forever change his sentence--not man's but God's. Men still saw him as the dirty thief; Jesus saw him as a clean child of God. That's grace, God's amazing grace!

And it avails for you today. For the second you confessed to your Lord, you were forgiven. The second you accepted, you were received. Give no thought to the tempter's taunts. He's a "liar, the father of lies and the truth is not in him."

Your past is forgiven, forgotten and forever washed away. You're cleansed and declared righteous according to heaven's records. You are clean--heart, soul, body, mind and spirit--and "clean is clean" in GOD'S eyes! That's what really counts. Believe it--let peace rule in your heart today and you will have a praise-filled, peace-filled day!
