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 fiancée'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!!!!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall
never suffer the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:23
This prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we
receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for
one another.
Here is the prayer:
"Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies
reading this right now.
Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask
you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is
self doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
In Jesus' precious name.
Amen
