The Blood of Jesus


One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. 

She responded to GOD's call and accepted Jesus as her LORD and Savior. 

The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. 

But, the change in her was evident.

As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. 

She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. 

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the Pastor's son. 

The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. 

This is when the problems began. 

One half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a Pastor's son.

They decided to have a meeting.

The church began to argue and fight about the matter. 

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. 

The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. 

As she began to cry the Pastor's son stood to speak. 

He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. 

He began to speak and he said, 

"My fiancée's past is not what is on trial here.

What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. 

Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. 
So, does it wash away sin or not?" 

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Too often, we bring up the past and use it as a tool against our brothers and sisters. 

Forgiveness is grace, and the very foundation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. 

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. 

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” 1 Peter 1:19

Prayer

"Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now.

Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence.
Show them a new revelation of your love and power.

I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Give them a renewed sense of your gift of grace.

Where there is pain, give them your peace and joy.

In the name of Jesus and the gift of grace, Amen
