BLINDINGLY WHITE

(This awesome photo is from the NASA archives. It was taken in Switzerland.) "'Come now, let us reason together,' says the LORD. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow'" (Isaiah 1:18). With the exception of the street out front and the flora and buildings not buried under our thick, white blanket, it's white as far as I can see. Even the blue sky, minus any clouds today here, whitens out along the horizon. Whiteness everywhere--blindingly so. The Bible says the One true, Triune God lives in "unapproachable light" (1 Timothy 6:16). Some day, if the Lord has drawn us to Himself and in so doing has cleansed us of our scarlet sin, we'll be able to approach Him, the Unapproachable. We will probably retain our skin color as He gave it to us, but underneath? Underneath...blindingly white. SDG.
