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
