"THE STAIN"
By John Kerr

            If you attended Summerville church last week you know about my shirt.  I taught Bible class and when I returned to my seat Jan told me that I had a stain on my shirt.  I have two identical shirts, except that one has a stain on it.  I looked that morning and in the dim light I guess I missed the stain and wore the wrong shirt to church.  When I started preaching, I asked how many had noticed it and several had.  I made a few comments about the blood of Christ removing all of our sin stains and went on the preach.

            I thought a little more about that stain.  I was in the wrong place at the wrong time wearing what I should not have been wearing.  I was in the garage, not working there, but thought it would not hurt to pick something up at the back of my workbench.  When I leaned over the workbench my shirt rubbed against a greasy bearing and the stain was evidence.  It will not come out.

            Now, back to the spiritual side of things.  We all have sin stains, often from when we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Sin stains can be removed, but only when washed in the blood of the crucified Christ.  I think of the wonderful old hymn:  POWER IN THE BLOOD:

                        Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
                        There's power in the blood, power in the blood.
                        Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow;
                        there's wonderful power in the blood.

ONOMATOPOEIA - the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it.  Examples:  Moo, fizz.

Come as you are and grow with us!
