“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?
