Precious Blood

The blood has now become offensive today in the “modern church.” We have our fancy stain glass windows, our nice padded pews, we have a form of Godliness… but no blood. “It is rude” they say. “Not attractive.” We hear no “you must be cleansed by the blood” sermons anymore. There is no mention that we must stop treading on the blood of our Precious Savior. All we hear is “bless me, bless me, bless me.” Nobody aches for the lost that know not the blood experience. For we have become “sanctified sinners” setting under a lying preacher that wont preach the blood anymore. I am broken hearted. It is through His blood we have access to the Most Holy Place. It is through His blood we enter in before His presence. This was not what I was going to write about today, but I got to singing a song that has become dear to my heart. Its called Precious Blood. And I sing the words in my own way like this… “His blood… is not just blood of another spotless lamb. But His blood is precious blood… that saves the soul of man. His blood heals my body… and it sets my spirit free. I’m so glad… for His precious blood… that still flows from Calvary!!” Then my mind came to another song that goes like this “what can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh precious is the flow… that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood… the blood of Jesus.” As I sang these two songs… I began to fill that precious blood pump through my spiritual veins, as the Holy Ghost came down and rested upon me. I remember that wonderful day when I moved beyond “bless me, bless me” to “Lord… please save me!!” And I realized that the blood that was so offensive to others, and at one time gross to me, was the only way I could be saved!! It wasn’t so gross anymore, but beautiful. Yes they may take the blood out of the sermons, out of the church, out of their lives, but this is one life that has the precious blood flowing in it. It’s more than just a story in my bible… it’s a fact in my life. I am so thankful for that blood experience. That which makes my black heart white as snow.

We must stop treading underfoot the precious blood of our Savior!! We must stop making His blood of no affect in our lives. We must re-center our lives around the blood again. For all the blessings of God will be worthless on the day of Christ’ return. We are cheating our own selves by making His blood of no affect. The only thing that will matter when He returns is… Are You Walking In His Precious Blood? Or on it?!
