Maggie is a very special person. It is not because she is a good student or has a happy family that makes her special—it is her blood. Maggie has a kind of blood that no one else in the United States is known to have. In fact, doctors and researchers have not found anyone else in the world with this very rare type of blood even though they have been searching for years. To us this is very interesting, but for Maggie it could be a serious problem. If she should become sick and for some reason need a blood transfusion, who would supply the blood? So Maggie is preparing for the future by donating some of her own blood to a blood bank to be kept for her in case she might need it later on.
Have you prepared for the future? Without the cleansing power of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are only prepared for a future in hell. But the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ can cleanse us from all sin (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)) which prepares us for a future in heaven with Him.
If Maggie should become sick and need her own blood for a transfusion, this would only help her through that one sickness. She might need several transfusions and still not be well. Maggie’s blood could run out. But the blood of the Lord Jesus will never “run out.” There is enough cleansing power in His blood for everyone who will trust in Him. When the Lord Jesus washes away our sins with His blood, all our sins—past, present and future—are gone forever, and we are saved forever. Have you asked Him to be your Saviour and wash your sins away?
What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
