AS FILTHY RAGS !!



OF  MY  OWN  GOOD  DEEDS  I  CANNOT   BRAG,  BECAUSE  ALL  OF  MY  RIGHTEOUSNESS  IS
AS  FILTHY   RAGS.
AS  ISAIAH  FORETOLD  SO  LONG  AGO,
THOUGH  OUR  SINS  BE   AS  SCARLET  JESUS   CAN  MAKE  THEM  AS  WHITE  AS  SNOW,
WHEN  JESUS  WAS  PIERCED  IN  HIS  HANDS  AND  HIS  FEET,
THE  SACRIFICIAL  SYSTEM  WAS   MADE  COMPLETE.
