“The inspector will be here today boys, and I want you all to be on your best behavior.”
Mr. Hamilton was just a bit afraid of the inspector, and he didn’t want his class to be unruly.
Sharp at two o’clock there was a knock at the door and in walked Mr. Watchorn, the inspector.
The boys were questioned on various subjects, and Mr. Hamilton was feeling quite pleased that they were answering so well. Then the inspector suddenly asked, “Is there anything God can’t see?” Murray waved his hand to answer. “Yes, sir, there is.”
“And what is that, my lad?”
“Sir, God can’t see my sins.”
“And why not?”
“Because the Bible says, ‘The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.’”
And Murray was right too! Yes, God can’t see my sins either, for they are all washed away. Are yours?
“What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. So that not one spot remains? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
