Advent VI

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  (Psalm 51:7, NASB)

King David wrote Psalm 51 after his adultery with Bathsheba, and after he murdered her husband, Uriah the Hittite.  I’m sure that I wrote in my Bible in the margin next to Psalm 51, “How to pray when I blow it,” or something like that.  But this is why Jesus came to the earth:  To rescue us from our sins!  This is why we celebrate in this season of Advent.  Jesus has washed His people, so we “shall be whiter than snow.”  

Below is my favorite rendition of “White Christmas,” because of the ending.
