There When You Need It

The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin -- 1 John 1-7


 

 

When I donated blood sometime ago, a nurse gave me a card to read while a
pint of the vital red 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 all the 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
satisfy the demand of the holy God as payment for our sins (Hebrews 9:12,
22).  So now, whenever a person cries out in faith to God, repenting abyss
in and pleading for forgiveness, his prayer for celebration is answered.

 

            I am deeply grateful the 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 as 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

 

 


Thought for the day: Jesus takes our sin and gives us his salvation.
