ONLY HIS BLOOD

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.  Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.”

Revelation 1:5,6 KJV

Pastor Robert Lowry wrote one of my favorite hymns “Nothing But the Blood”.  It is so true that nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins and make us whole.  It is only His blood, the precious atoning blood of Jesus that can cleanse us from our sins and assure of a home in Heaven for eternity.

There are times when hospitals run short of blood and ask for donors.  Thank God that people do donate their blood which helps the doctors when they are treating people.  However, blood from these donors can’t save us from our sins.  We must have the cleansing blood of Jesus in our heart to be saved.

Have you allowed Jesus to wash you in His cleansing atoning blood?  If not, I urge you to open the door of your heart to Jesus and let Him come into your heart.  He will not only cleanse you, He will be the dearest Friend you will ever have.  Also, He will never leave you, not even for a minute.

I dearly love my family and my friends, but it is only when I am in the presence of Jesus that I have the fulness of joy.  O how I love Jesus!  Without Jesus in my heart, I would just exist.  For many years I experienced a crippling depression but now thanks to Jesus, I am happy.
