He Died For You

Blood of Jesus
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 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! 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.
Please pass this to someone you want to be blessed .
This prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we
receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray
for one another.
Here is the prayer:
"Father,
I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and e-mail buddies reading this
right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power.
Holy spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there
is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. In Jesus'
precious name. Amen.
