“WASHING away past things? Nothing but the blood, sir —nothing but the blood!” “When did you learn that?”
“Only last Sunday evening, but I’m too full to speak of it tonight, sir.”
Such was the short conversation that took place between a Christian and a railway employee.
Has the love of God filled your heart with joy unspeakable? Such joy as this the world cannot give; it is found in Christ alone. He said to His disciples: “These things have I spoken unto you, that your joy might be full.” John 15:1111These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15:11).
“Nothing but the precious blood
Can give lasting peace with God,
For the heart so dark, so stained with sin
and guilt;
There is nothing can atone
But the blood of Christ alone,
Blood which Christ in love for guilty
sinners spilt.
Trusting in that precious blood
There is perfect peace with God;
Saved for glory, wondrous story,
Saved through Jesus’ precious blood.”
