Blood of Jesus

 


Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9: 12

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9: 22

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Hebrews 13: 20

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 John 5:


Blood Will Never Lose Its Power


The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary, oh, the blood
Gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it's power

Oh it reaches to the highest mountains
And it flows to the lowest valleys
Oh the blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it's power

It's through my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
Oh the blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it's power

Oh it reaches to the highest mountains
And it flows to the lowest valleys
Oh the blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it's power

Oh it reaches to the highest mountains
And it flows to the lowest valleys
Oh the blood that gives my strength from day to day
It will never lose it's power

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS

NOTHING BUT 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.
You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
So they decided to have a meeting.
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 his statement was this:
"My fiancee'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, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.
Forgiveness is a very foundational part 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! End of case!


And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev. 1: 5


"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:23
