This is a beta-test of my "illustration database web-based interface." (whoa that is a mouthful.) Everything is not fully complete, but it should work. Thank you for checking it out. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or if you think of any helpful new features.
The illustrations found here are in the public domain and were collected by Pastor Holwick.
A father and his young son were viewing a parade in London, England. Because of the chilling wind, they stepped inside a small store and watched through the window. In the course of time a regiment of British troops marched by, and the man exclaimed, "My, aren't those Redcoats pretty!"
But the little boy replied, "They aren't red, they are white. If you don't believe me, just squat down here and look."
Just to prove the little fellow was wrong, his Daddy got down on his knees and looked out the window. To his amazement the coats were not red; they looked white.
What had happened was this. There was a red band of glass around the storefront window, and at the height of that the boy was looking out he was viewing the parade through a red band of glass. When you look at a red object through a red piece of glass, the red object loses it red color to your eyes. It appears white.
The same thing is true in salvation. When God looks at you through the red blood of Jesus your scarlet sins appear white. This is blood atonement.
