THE WONDERFUL thing about electronic calculators is that if wrong buttons are pressed and the calculation is thrown off, all is not lost. The problem does not have to be unraveled or figured out. By pressing \u201cclear,\u201d the calculation can be restarted.<\/p>\n
Some people are in situations that they can\u2019t unravel. Their lives are so twisted and turned that they can\u2019t figure things out. They are too confused. The great thing about God is that He is ready and waiting to press \u201cclear.\u201d He\u2019s ready to abundantly pardon.326<\/p>\n

EVERY week, people have the habit of taking clothes to the cleaners that have been soiled. The job of the cleaners is to freshen them up and get them smelling good again. Jesus has a pick up cleaning service. He picks up dirty people\u2014people who have allowed their lives to sink into the mud for one reason or another\u2014and cleanses them.328<\/p>\n

THE BIGGEST bulldozer in the world is the D575A. It\u2019s 16 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 41 feet high. It weighs 225,000 pounds. It\u2019s a huge machine to bulldoze dirt. A couple of years ago it came to a county where there was an overload of garbage, and the bulldozer was brought in to dig a big hole that would collect the garbage and remove it from the lives of the citizens.<\/p>\n
On the cross, God dug a hole so big He could collect the sins of the whole world\u2014past, present, and future. On the cross, He gathered all the sin and took out His eternal wrath on Jesus Christ for you and for me. \u201cGod made him who had no sin to be sin for us\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:21).329<\/p>\n
