Throughout the 1700s, individuals would keep the stale crusts of their bread to use in correcting their mistakes on paper. One night, British engineer Edward Nairne (N-iron) reached for his stale crust, but instead picked up a piece of latex rubber and used it on the paper before realizing what is was. Not only did the rubber do a much better job of erasing the mistakes, it was also much easier to clean up by simply sweeping away the small rubber crumbs. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

In the 103rd Psalm, David reminds us that “as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is God’s steadfast love toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does God remove our transgressions from us.”

Stale crusts of bread and rubber erasers are no comparison to the cleansing blood of Jesus. When we confess our sins, even the worst things we’ve ever done, God is quick to forgive, and chooses to remember our sins no more. What freedom we have in Jesus!
