THE BLOOD
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.
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 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, 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!
"Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved."
- (Psalm 55:23 )
