The Power of the Blood
Zechariah 13:1: "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."
There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Emanuel’s veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains! Oh, what a glorious day when this sinner plunged beneath that flood! Calvary’s divine flow has made a difference not only in my own life but in the lives of many friends and loved ones around me. The Bible clearly teaches us that “without shedding of blood” is no remission for sins (see Heb. 9:22). The blood is vital to the life of the believer, for without it there would be no life at all. The scriptures teach us that the life is in the blood (see Lev. 17:11).
Why then is there very little (if any) mentioning of the blood that Christ shed on the cross for our sins anymore in the average church today? It is because our enemy the devil knows that it is the blood that has the power to cleanse us from our sins, and which enables us to serve God. If the devil desires to win the battle, all he needs to do is get the blood out of our churches, our sermons, our songs, our prayers, and our “bibles.” Sadly, he has already won the battle in many “churches” today. However, I have an old truth for this modern world, which is as ever true as it was before; IT’S STILL THE BLOOD that saves mankind from their sins!
On the night of the Passover, the Lord said, “When I see the blood, I will pass
over you.” (See Ex. 12:13). That night, many lives were spared from the death angel; why? Because the blood was applied to the door posts of their houses, as the Lord had commanded. This was nothing but a foreshadowing of the blood of Christ which would be applied to the door posts of the heart of every believer who put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, thereby escaping the wrath of God which is sure to come upon unbelievers of every age.
Oh, hallelujah! Thank God for the blood which He shed on our behalf; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Sinner friend, you do not want to face God on judgment day without having been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Has atonement been made for your soul? Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ in full repentance of your sins, and He will wash you in His blood, and spare you from the wrath to come!
