Years ago I went to a salad bar type restaurant on my lunch break. I had loaded up my plate and turned to go to my seat. The unexpected happened. The fellow across from me shook the mustard bottle. However the lid was not on tight. A big glob of bright yellow mustard landed on my pale pink cotton skirt.

He was mortified and I was shocked. I set my plate down and raced into the bathroom. Too late. The stain was permanent. When we sin against others, we leave a stain that can only be removed one way.

Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Jesus’ shed blood removes the stain. Nothing But The Blood of Jesus hymn, end of 2nd verse says, “For my cleansing this my plea: nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
