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, 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 cau ght
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 cann ot
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!!!!

shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.' (Psalm 55:23)
