In
order for Esther (formerly Hadassah) to enter the presence of King Xerxes, she
had to undergo 12 months of beauty treatments. My response to this was
that even I could be suitable to meet a king after 12 months of
beauty treatments!
On
second thought…
The
only king I know is Jesus and no matter what I do I will never be “good enough”
to meet God’s standard of perfection. The fact is that a year’s worth of
beauty treatments and special foods are not what is required. Jesus
provided an amazing 3-day beauty treatment! Through his death and
resurrection, he paid the total price for me to approach the throne. I
only need to ask Him to be my savior and serve as my master and I am saved from
my ugly sinful nature. As the old hymn proclaims, “Though my sins were as
scarlet, He washed them white as snow.”
