Nothing ButThe Blood


Leviticus 17:11 (KJV)

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.

For just a few moments I would like to cover the timeless words of the song nothing but the Blood
Written by Robert Lowry in 1876. More than 140 years later, Christians still sing the hymn with conviction, resounding the eternal truth that we are told about in
(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 there is no Hurt, Habit or Hang-up  that the blood of Christ cannot defeat

 (Isaiah 53:5)    ” But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed

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

To others, the idea that all mankind needs a Savior is foolish thought.
  
 (1 Corinthians 1:18) “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God”

   4 Points to live by

(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,


(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;


(3) 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 have been weighed on the scales and found Guilty.

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

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

Hebrews 13:20 (KJV)

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 all and that never ends

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!

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

This is all my righteousness,

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Conclusion:

The trumpets played nothing but the blood of Jesus and the angels sang every sweet refrain of Amazing Grace

Every single voice makes a joyful noise
How sweet the sound when the saints rejoice

To every broken heart and every wounded soul
New life begins on streets of gold

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


Glory! Glory! This I sing

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

All my praise for this I bring


Nothing but the blood of Jesus
