I wrote down a social security number on a random piece of paper for one of the numerous forms required after the death of my father in law. When I didn’t need it anymore, I went to cross it out but then realized it would be better to just erase it so there was no remaining marks.

Aha! You don’t just cross out our sins, leaving a reminder of its presence over us. You erase them as if they were never there, leaving us unmarked and clear. Amazing!
