Nothing a little Photoshop won’t fix!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

from Nothing but the Blood
Words and Music by Robert Lowry

A couple of years ago we took the family to DisneyWorld. I was beyond excited, spent an entire year planning the trip. Our daughter was four when we made the pilgrimage to Orlando, Florida. I was told that would be the perfect age to meet princesses and ride Dumbo, and what a great time we would all have. I loaded the family cameras with digital cards and got ready.

The night we were going to leave, my little girl was playing outside when she fell and skinned her cheekbone up pretty badly. Big, ugly, red scab. Lots and lots of tears. Once she calmed down, we loaded the car and hit the road.

We had a wonderful time (except for the fact that my daughter was afraid of all the characters except princesses, so we spent our time running from Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, et. al.!).

When we got home, I uploaded the pictures to the computer. Lots and lots of gorgeous pictures of my daughter with Cinderella, Belle, on the rides, you name it. And in each one, there it was…

The big, ugly, red scab.

It looked awful.

So I did what any mom would do… I pulled out the Photoshop and erased the scab out of every single picture. You can’t even tell it was ever there.

And that is was Jesus’ death on the cross did for us. We are all full of sin, big, ugly, blood red sins. They are all over us, around us, everywhere. But once we ask Jesus into our lives, those horrible, ugly sins are erased, and we are cleansed of it all.

There’s no other way to rid ourselves of our sinful nature. Jesus’ blood. That’s it.

Not good works, not money, not living a good life, or taking a vow of poverty.

Jesus. Just Him.

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
