There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. (Matt 17:2) Jesus the Son. Holy and pure. Cool.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.” (Matt 23:27) Whitewash again. Uncool, again.

Twenty-four elders…dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. (Rev 4:4) “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev 7:14) Human beings in white, holy and pure also. Humbling. Very cool.

Whitewashed, white from the outside, masks sin, temporarily. Un. Cool.

White from the inside, a pure heart saved by Grace, is the ultimate Cool.
