It is common in scripture to use color to portray symbolic meaning, and Isaiah uses symbolism to give vivid imagery of the cleansing power of the Lord’s atonement. After the Lord tells us to wash and cleanser ourselves (see Isaiah 1:16), he continues to say, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). This imagery of the purifying and cleansing is a beautiful analogy of the atoning power of Jesus Christ. See how the atonement of Jesus Christ can be applied in your own life.
