THE SAVIOUR'S BLOOD

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:"

1 Peter 1:18, 19
King James Version

Rev. Robert Lowry wrote one of my favorite hymns "Nothing But The Blood of Jesus". Every time I hear this hymn or sing it, I realize once again how much Jesus has done for us.

"What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; no other fount I know; nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Jesus shed His blood for us. What are we doing for Him? Are we doing and saying things that make Him happy or are we hurting Him and breaking His heart? One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His belovoed Son.

Will we hang to hang our head in shame because we hurt Jesus? God loves His Son so much. We read in the Bible. "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17)

I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for dying on the cross for me and for paying the price for my sins that I could never have paid. One happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You.
