THE BLOOD AT THE CROSS

I am not sure who the original author for this story is, but a good friend sent this to me and I really liked it. It helps to show part of the character of God and His Son, Jesus. Please take a moment to read it and decide for yourself.......

THANKS, FRED, FOR THIS FANTASTIC ARTWORK YOU GAVE ME!!

THE BLOOD

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 Saviour.

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 wasn't 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 fiancee'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 the Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus doesn't cleanse the other person completely, then it can't cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in alot of trouble!!!

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

If we don't believe that the BLOOD OF JESUS covers our sins, then will we also not believe that JESUS was resurrected from His tomb and now lives in Heaven at the right hand of His Father? I pray this is not the case, for our salvation will be in vain; our journey in this life will be without hope!!!

WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SINS? NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

CASE CLOSED!!!!! THE BIBLE SAYS IT; I BELIEVE IT!!! JESUS SAID,"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER ACCEPT BY ME." JOHN 14:6

IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND WILL BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED! ROMANS 10:9

OH PRECIOUS IS THE FLOW, THAT MAKES ME WHITE AS SNOW; NO OTHER FOUNT I KNOW, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!!
