A friend of mine put this on her FB and I am not sure exactly where it came from. I am not sure it really matters. I do think it speaks volumes! Do we really believe that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins. Maybe we think it washes OUR sins away but not quite sure if it does others? This story is very thought provoking.......What do you think?
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7
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 Savior.
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 was not 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 fiancé’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 our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely.
If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!


Very powerful! Thank God for the Blood of Jesus! Sending you hugs too! :-)

ReplyDeleteHow true, especially when it comes to someone effecting OUR family. I know God washed away all the guilt, shame and ugliness of my past life and made me a new creature, from the inside out. He can do it for anyone and we have to leave the past alone.

Wonderful post, yes the blood of Jesus washed away all our unrighteousness, made us new creatures, and made us to walk in light, instead of darkness, praise the lord for the blood, for without the blood there is no remission of sin. GOOD stuff sister, thank you,
