The Cure for the world

 Leviticus 17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

I was talking to a pastor friend of mine about all the chaos currently going on in the world

 I asked what he thought and he said we have a problem and it comes down to saved and unsaved

Jesus loves the little children all the children of the world Black and yellow, red and white

They're all precious in His sight Jesus loves the little children of the world

As Christians we have the cure for the world

The timeless words of the song

Nothing But the Blood was written by Robert Lowry in 1876. More than 140 years later, Christians still sing the hymn with conviction, resounding the eternal truth that it is nothing but the blood of Jesus

Jesus gave His blood, His life, a ransom for many. He poured out His soul unto death.

For IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKETH AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL."

(Hebrews 9:22)  ”And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission”

The blood of Jesus is salvation, healing, and eternal life. No matter what you struggle with in this life, no matter what your hurts, habits and hang-ups are, there is absolutely nothing that the blood of Christ cannot defeat.

Isaiah 53:12

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The blood of Jesus, to the Christian, these words are some of the most beautiful ever spoken.

It was His blood, not as it was in His veins, but as it was poured out, that affected the reconciliation.

God is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

   This hymn  points us to life  

(1) What can wash away my sin?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And he washed us from our sins in His own blood: This is what happened when Jesus loved us at the cross.

He washed us - cleansed us from the deep stain of sin, so that we really are clean before Him. This is worth praising Jesus about.

If we understand our own deep sinfulness, this seems almost too good to be true.

We can stand clean before God, clean from the deepest of stains.

No wonder the same Apostle John also wrote, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

In His own blood: If there were any other way to wash us from our sins, God would have done it that other way.

To wash us in His own blood meant the ultimate sacrifice of God was his Son.

God wouldn't do it this way unless it was the only way.

(2) What can make me whole again?

1 John 1:7

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin”

Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know,

1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

He must be our source and our hearts desire

I was guilty, I had been weighed on the Scales of life, my short comings & character Defects have held me back  

But when Jesus came in where there was no hope, now there was light

Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

My cries had woken the master, he heard my voice and when you cry out to him he hears yours also

For my cleansing this I see   for my pardon this my plea—Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Hebrews 13:20

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

The God of peace will give you every good thing you need so that you can do what he wants.

God is the one who raised from death our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of his sheep.

He raised him because Jesus sacrificed his blood to begin a relationship of true love for us all, a love that never ends.

Because of Jesus, the priest will do this to make you pure and wash away your sins.

Then you will be clean to the Lord.

He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin.

He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven

Romans 5:1-9

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Nothing can for sin atone,

Naught of good that I have done,             nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Naught of works, ’tis all of grace

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

This is all my hope and peace,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Who could make me free from the burden of sin?

Who could make me free from your passion and pride?

Who could make me much whiter than snow?

There's power in the blood,

Conclusion:

How sweet the sound when we rejoice

To every broken heart and every wounded soul

New life begins on the streets of gold

There is no mistaking the fact it is nothing but the blood of Jesus

And it for this reason I sing

Nothing but the blood of Jesus
