The young lady is totally frustrated: Her favorite tennis outfit is dirty and she is sure that it will never be clean again. Her mother offers the solution; the outfit will be washed in Clorox 2. The daughter is skeptical about the solution. How can that be? A few seconds later the daughter is telling her mother how wonderful she is as she walks away with her favorite tennis outfit as good as new. The viewer is then informed they can experience the same results.
Human beings also get dirty with sin. It often appears there is no possible way to get clean. Human beings are ruined forever. Wait, there is a solution to this problem; namely, Jesus, the Christ. At first, we may be very skeptical that this person can make us clean, but then we see what he can do. It is through the work of Jesus that we are made clean and as good as new. The end of the story is we will live with Jesus in his kingdom. Peter tells us all is not lost -- Jesus makes us clean through his death and resurrection. We are to live in that hope, and we are to thank God for what he has done for us through Jesus Christ.
