How the stain of sin disappears

I turned on the TV and fell in the middle of a series about following Jesus on Family 7, and they talked about the stain that is hard to erase.

You can scrub and scrub, but the stain remains.You throw the garment in the laundry, you put the washing machine at the highest possible temperature, you use the best detergent and a very good stain spray and hope that the stain will disappear.You choose a long program and soak the stain spray.Everything you do to remove the stain; at least you think so.You're forgetting one important step.

The washing machine is finished turning.Hopefully, you take out the garment.You can't wait, because you hope the stain is gone.Great is the disappointment when the stain still appears to be there.Angry and frustrated you throw the pants in a corner.

The stain represents the sin of your life.Those things that you know aren't good, but you can't stop.That doesn't have to be serious things at all.Sin means missing your goal.

That does not automatically equate to horrible things like murder or rape, but also smoking, drinking, anger outbursts, gossip, stealing, materialism, hate and bitterness, unforgiveness, you name it.
