LET us think of the snow as illustrating God's power, grace and glory.
Snow is exceedingly beautiful, both in its dazzling purity and in its formation. Seen through a microscope it is made of lovely and artistically formed crystals.
Taken singly, their weight is very little indeed, but how prodigious their power when heaped one upon another in innumerable Multitudes! They have
POWER
to stop the most powerful locomotive, bar up roads, crush villages, form torrents, and bring all the plans and purposes of man to a complete standstill, proving him utterly helpless.
God's power in creating snow is infinite, His treasure house of snow is full beyond human comprehension (Job 30: 22),
GRACE
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow,"
Make sure that the blood of the Lamb has washed you whiter than the snow. You cannot enter until you have been cleansed by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus,
But His love does not rest in washing away guilt, but in fitting for God's
GLORY
Snow is a fit emblem of that, for in the story of Christ's transfiguration on the mountain (Mark 9:33And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. (Mark 9:3)), His robe is described as "exceedingly white as snow."
The same is said of the angel's raiment in Matt. 28:3,3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: (Matthew 28:3) and in John's vision of the Son of Man, His "hairs were...as white as snow."
Jesus is the very center of the glory of God, and how blessed it will be, not only to see Him, but to be made like Him, for we shall "see Hint as He is."
Let us never forget when we see the glistening snow that it speaks of
The Creative POWER of God.
The Redeeming GRACE of God.
The Eternal GLORY of God.
