Read: Hebrews 9:11-22
The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. --- 1 John 1:7
The Bible In One Year:
Deuteronomy 30-31
Mark 15:1-25
When I donated blood some time ago, a nurse gave me a card to read while a pint of the vital read fluid was flowing out of my vein. The card showed the percentages of people who have different blood types. Here are some of them:
O-Positive 37.4%
A-Positive 35.7%
A-Negative 6.3%
B-Negative 1.5%
The rarest, AB-Negative, is found in only 1 in 167 people, or 0.6% of the population. Then the card made this eye-catching statement: "The rarest blood type is the one that's not there when you need it."
There is another supply of blood that is one of a kind and always available to those who ask for it. First John 1:7 states, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
It was the death of Christ --- the shedding of His blood --- that satisfied the demand of a holy God as payment for our sins [Heb. 9:12,22]. So now, whenever a person cries out in faith to God, repenting of his sin and pleading for forgiveness, his prayer for salvation is answered.
I am deeply grateful that Jesus was willing to die on the cross, giving His blood for me, so that forgiveness was available when I needed it. Aren't you? --- Dave Egner
Sufficient is the blood of Christ
To cleanse us from all sin,
But daily we must claim its power
To keep us pure within. --- D. De Haan
JESUS TAKES OUR SIN AND GIVES US HIS SALVATION.
