Tuesday

Have mucho fun! Yesterday was awesome. I stayed on this side of the border and even though people who were working in Mexico saw God in so many ways, my eyes were opened to a parable during our meeting last night.

Yesterday, as we were painting the playground equipment, we began to get paint on us. As we kept on painting, we were covered with more and more paint. Then, Pastor Steve returned from the store with some paint remover that removed the paint really fast. Painting is like our life, as we keep on living, we sin over and over again. Eventually, we're covered with it, and it seems everyone can see what we've done as if we had it marked on our forehead. Then, someone brings the word of Jesus Christ into our life (Steve in the case of the paint). Whenever we accept Jesus into our heart, He forgives us of our sins and they are washed away with his blood.

Also, we were painting it red and lets say the red is temptation and the playground equipment is the World. As we get farther along, there's more and more temptation. Jesus comes and is crucified, and the people of the world are washed clean.
