| The Blood |
| What a wonderful theme for meditation the blood of Jesus is for our hearts. |
| •It has brought us near to God: “In Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13). |
| •It has removed our sins:“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). |
| •It is through that blood that we have forgiveness:“Through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). |
| • We are redeemed by that blood: “Redeemed … with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:18-19). |
| The blood of Jesus will be the theme of our song for all eternity, “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy … for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9). Let’s consider that blood today, and let it be the theme of our praise and song now. It is the basis for every blessing that we have and our only title to the Lord’s presence and the Father’s house. |
