Yes You May—Forgiveness
 

Yes You May—Forgiveness “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” Isaiah 1:18 Recommended Reading Isaiah 1:16-20 [ http://iz3.me/5aQP2zeTx1A1 ] Earlier this year a man in Woodland, California, lost his wallet and decided it had been thrown in the trash. He climbed into a large garbage dumpster, but the sanitation truck came by while he searched through the debris. Hoisting up the dumpster, the truck poured the trash, including the man, into its giant interior and continued toward the landfill. It took a terrifying hour for the man to climb up through the debris and signal the sanitation engineers. He barely escaped being compacted. Watch This Week's TV Broadcast [ http://iz3.me/6aQP2zeTx1A1 ] Have you ever heard anyone say, “I feel like garbage”? Sometimes we feel dirty, sinful, like a person in a dump truck. Isaiah 64:6 says, “We are all like an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags … our iniquities…have taken us away.” But Isaiah also said, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7). The Lord offers complete forgiveness of all our garbage through Jesus Christ. And yes, you may receive it today. Break down every idol, cast out every foe; now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. James L. Nicholson, in the hymn “Whiter Than Snow.”
