Never Lose Sight- A Timely Reminder

“How much more, then, will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God,
cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,
 so that we may serve the living God!”
Hebrews 9:14
 
 
The hymn writer of years gone by posed this question –
 
“Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless, are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?”
 
You can watch advertisements for laundry detergents that tout great ‘power’ to remove all kinds of stains from your clothes.
There is no power in the earth or the heavens that can do what the Blood of Jesus can do.
It can wash away your sin.
“That’s not news”, you say “I already know that!”
Wonderful, but it is also wonderful to remember it.
Recall when the disciples rejoiced over the power they were given in Jesus name?
What did Jesus remind them of?
 
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you."Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
Luke 10:19-20
 
Never lose sight of what the blood has made possible in you – it has washed away your sin, brought you back into fellowship with God, entrance into His family and given you eternal life.
 If ever you run out of things to rejoice over take a trip back to Calvary.
Let that ‘memory lane’ time remind you of the power of the Blood of Jesus.
Are you washed in the blood?
