Celebrating Mr. Clean

Mr. Clean created a handy little item called the Magic Eraser.  It is a sponge of some sort that when dampened will wipe just about any blemish or mark from most anything.  It can make the dirtiest of walls look new again, will take a little darling's masterpiece from the living room wall, take soap scum off of a shower door, remove mold and mildew and rust marks from porcelain and a host of other uses.  No one really knows what is magic about Mr. Clean's eraser but it will even take permanent marker off of most things.

The original Magic Eraser rose from the tomb over 2,000 years ago.  His resurrection has the ability to make the dirtiest of lives look new again.  He can wipe any blemish or mark from anyone's life.  He can remove a masterpiece you made of your life that ruined your future.  He can take scum and make it shiny and streak free.  He can remove mold, mildew and rust from our lives that no amount of apologizing will erase.  He can remove mistakes from our lives, even ones with permanent reminders.

Mr. Clean, although amazing, is not a new concept.  My Mr. Clean died for my sins and rose again on the third day.  My Mr. Clean is your Mr. Clean.  We accept our Mr. Clean when we confess His name before men, and dampen ourselves in the burial waters of baptism.  He then magically erases our mistakes, even ones with permanent reminders.

Today I celebrate Mr. Clean.  For He has Risen!
