Take away my sin, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Psalm 51:7
The year was 1984. The place was Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee. Snow had fallen all night and the campus awoke to find the campus was blanketed. I decided it would be a good idea to go get breakfast before class, so off I walked to the Cafe. On my way, I began to notice that the sunlight on this pristine snow was not only dazzling, but blinding. Thank goodness I had remembered to bring my sunglasses. But the brightness gave me pause to ponder...is this what the Psalmist was envisioning when he penned today's verse?
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
