Nothing
But The Blood Of Jesus
Anonymous
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 way my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of
case!!! "Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain
you. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalm
55:23
