The Blood

 “There is power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.” Nothing made by man, has, or will, ever compare to the saving power of Jesus’ blood. From (Hebrews 9:22) According to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission.” Jesus became the Lamb, His blood making atonement for man’s sins. Jesus said, “No one comes to the father except through Me.” Faith in Jesus, and by His shed blood, man can come to a Loving God. “God cared enough to send His only begotten son, that who so ever believeth in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life.”“
    The last two nights we watched,”The Greatest Story Ever Told.” It is a more civil movie, about the life of Jesus than, “The Passion of Christ.” In reality, I don’t believe even the scenes from that movie really identifies what our Lord and Savior endured. Jesus endured the cross, shed His blood knowing that He was paying a price that man could not pay himself. At that moment I don’t believe any man really understood what was happening, but on the third day he arose. Soon after His Resurrection he departed this world to go to the Father. Upon leaving, He left them with the promise, “ In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I am going to prepared a place for you that where I am you will be also be.” He also told them of a Comforter He would send, “One who would lead them into all truth.” They waited in Jerusalem, and on the day of Pentecost they received the Holy Spirit; the Gentile Age begins.
     Two thousands years have not diminished the power of Jesus blood to save man from his sin, however many fail to recognize the importance of what Jesus did. David said, (Psalms 1:1), “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth  in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” I praise Jesus that he has paid the price for me to a better life; “what can make me whole again, nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
     Well, Easter is a special time for the Christian as we once again remember the events leading up to His greatest triumph. Sadness and loss on Friday, and then the Resurrection and joy, of Easter morning. “Up from the grave He arose, a mighty triumph over the soul. He arose a victor from the dark domain to remain for every on His throne to reign. He arose, He arose, Hallelujah Christ arose.” . Our God is an eternal God, and He is also a God of second chances. He loves us more than we will ever know. Jesus said, “Greater love has no man than to lay down His life for a friend.”  I know my Redeemers lives, I feel His blessed Spirit moving in me. Jesus, thank you for the precious blood you shed for me. I did not deserve it, but thank you for your precious gift.
