THE LAW SHOWS YOUR STAINS, BUT DOESN’T CLEAN THEM

The late, J. Vernon McGee said: "There must be shedding of blood for sin. You have a mirror in your bathroom, which is a picture of the law, and there is a basin underneath the mirror. You do not wash yourself with the mirror; it only reveals the dirt. Just so, the law is the mirror that reveals our sin. And beneath that mirror there is a wash basin."

"There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;

And sinners plunged beneath that flood.

Lose all their guilty stains."
