Nothing But The Blood

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 by teaching young children.

After awhile, this faithful young woman 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 half of the church membership did not think
that a woman with a past such as hers was a suitable mate for a
pastor's son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. Then,
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.

The pastor's son could not bear the pain it was causing his
young, faithful wife-to-be. As she began to cry, the pastor's son
stood to speak...

"I challenge every one of you to think carefully about what
is happening here tonight. It really is NOT my fiancé's past that
is on trial here. What all of you are, actually, questioning is the ability
of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin.
Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, what is your
verdict?
Does the blood of Christ wash away sin? . . Or Not?!?"

Tears welled up in the eyes of every Christian in the auditorium.
The whole church began to weep as they realized that they really
had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as
Christians, the past is brought up and used as a weapon against brothers and
sisters....or even against ourselves.
Forgiveness & Grace are the very foundation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ. If the blood of Jesus could not cleanse the soul of every single
person, then all of us would be in a lot of trouble.
As the old hymn says,
"What can wash away my sins?
NOTHING, but the blood of Jesus."

End of case!!!
