God uses snow to show us what He is capable of. As bad as our sin is, He covers our sin as white as snow. He cleanses us of our sin as white as snow. Think about a snowfall before anyone has trampled on it or shoveled or plowed it. That’s what God does for us.
On Studylight.org, Contending for the Faith: "In the Bible the glory of God is
always conceived as shining brilliance or bright light. When John sees Jesus in
the apocalyptic vision, His head and hair are ‘white like wool, as white as
snow.’ Ages before, when Daniel sees Jesus in prophetic vision as the Ancient
of Days, His garments are white as snow. When Jesus appears to Saul on the way
to Damascus, a light above the brightness of the midday sun shines round about
Saul so that Saul is blinded. It is obvious, then, that Jesus in the heavenly
region wears an appearance of surpassing glory, and now Jesus gives His
disciples a glimpse of that glorified or spiritual state.”
Is there anything as white as snow? Snow that falls from the
heavens and covers the earth? Although snow gets a bad name down here on earth
from some, snow in all its beauty can take your breath away.
The individual flakes that those with great ability have
captured on film or disk are amazing. If you’ve never taken the time to look at
a snowflake in all its beauty, I encourage you to go online and pull up
pictures of individual snowflakes. And no two are alike!
On Scripturesavvy.com it says: “When David speaks about
being “whiter than snow,” he evokes a powerful image of what it means to be
absolved from guilt and made anew in the eyes of God. The purity of freshly
fallen snow has long metaphorical interpretations, suggesting innocence, beauty,
and cleanliness that can only come from divine intervention. As we reflect on
this, we realize that it is only through God’s grace that we can achieve true
cleanliness and renewal in our life.”
Our time for snow will be upon us before we know it. Remember the beauty of it and how God uses it. It's a miracle of creation. And He uses it to cleanse our sin. Now that it wonderful!
By His Grace . . .
