If one could fully write out the history of the text, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin," what a book it would make!
This verse caught the eye of Captain Hedley Vicars when he was a daring leader in sin. It sent him to toss all night on a sleepless bed; and it enabled him to rise calmly in the morning believing that it was "true for him." Afterward, while ministering to his men, who were dying by scores of black fever and cholera in a wretched Greek hospital, he wrote to a friend: "Should I die now, you know my only confidence is in the cross of Christ, and in the knowledge that the precious 'blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin'; words as full of sweetness and power to me now as on the day when they first became to my soul 'the power of God unto salvation.' "
It was proclaimed by John Wesley to a highwayman who had robbed him of his purse. Many years later, that same man met Wesley as he was leaving a gospel preaching, and told him that verse of Scripture had been the means of a total change in his heart and life.
Martin Luther disposed of a long catalog of his sins presented by Satan by demanding that the enemy of his soul should write those magic words at the bottom: "It is the blood that cleanseth the soul from all sin."
How many aching hearts and dying heads have been comforted by that verse! How many thousands living today can testify to the present and peace-speaking power of that precious blood! The best on earth need it; the worst cannot do without it.
Let me urge you to receive by faith the Son of God as your own Savior, and you, too, will be able to testify that it is the blood "that cleanseth from all sin."
Accept Christ now.
