HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”

Colossians 1:13,14 KJV

Pastor Robert Lowry wrote one of my favorite hymns “Nothing but the Blood”.  Yes, nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins.  We can take a bath and scrub our body with soap every hour of the day for the rest of our life but we will still be dirty with sin.  Only His precious blood can cleanse our sins.

Think about it.  Jesus, the Saviour of the world, knew He was going to be betrayed, beaten beyond recognition, spat on, cursed, mocked and nailed to the cross for our sins yet He left His Father, His home and all that He had to die for us.  What unconditional love flows from His heart for you and for me.

O how God loves us.  He knew His Son was going to be beaten and hung on the cross to die for our sins yet because He loves us so much He gave His Son to die for us.  If we will grasp in our heart how much God and Jesus love us and that They protect us, we will live a happier and more peaceful life.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your Son to die for our sins.  Thank You for the privilege of serving Jesus.  I love You so much, dear Jesus.  How I long to see You face to face and praise God, one day I will see You face to face.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
