Your hands are wonderful creations of God! Look at your hands. But if left to do whatever we want – those hands get us into trouble. Try telling a child, “Don’t touch that!” Eve used her hand to pick a forbidden fruit. Adam received the forbidden fruit from Eve. Cain used his hand to murder his brother. Genesis 4:11 “So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.” What have your hands done? Mine should be stained with the sins of alcoholism and drug addiction – the ways I mistreated others, especially women – the children I fathered who were aborted. Did you notice I said, “should be stained?”
You know the hymn – sing with me: “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
