Whiter than Snow

I was attending the Thursday night worship service called Encounter, when I heard it.
The speaker mentioned the phrase, "White than snow." He used it in the typical context
of Jesus' blood washing our sins away so we are "whiter than snow", or without blemish
when we approach our God. I've sung it and said it many times, but this time I sat on it,
and thought about it.

I remembered the mornings in Central New York when you went outside after it has snowed
the night before. Nothing had disturbed the snow yet; no stray dogs; no sledders.
The white snow was pristine like millions of diamonds on the ground.

Then I remembered the series the Louie Giglio presented at 722 in Atlanta this summer.
One of the things he talked about was shining so people would know that you were marked by
Christ. When you go outside after a snow storm and the snow is new, and the sky is clear and the sun shines off the snow it is blinding. The glare is so bad that sometimes sunglasses are needed.

Think of it. Our sin is washed away and we are white as snow if we believe that Jesus' sacrifice was the sufficient sacrifice to pay for our sins. So white that you would appear to be glowing.
So white that you can reflect the light of the Son.
