1 Peter 1:19
BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST
Just to read those words floods my heart and mind with love and my eyes with tears.
Oh, my friend, my friend, what does it mean to you? What an awesome cost! What an awesome sacrifice! Not the blood of sheep and goats this time, not even the blood of bulls, nor of a man, but of The Man. The Man of Sorrows.
How precious is Jesus to you? Do you still get a thrill in your spirit every time you whisper His name? Do your eyes contract with joy at the thought of His name? Do you feel clean once more as you contemplate His blood? Can you feel, even now, that cleansing like standing beneath a beautiful cool shower on a summer's day in Auckland?
What was so special about His blood? No, it wasn't blue so far as we know - but it was pure and it flowed freely. It was the Blood from a Perfect Man, the last Adam. He was sinless; He was spotless; He was the One whom Father sent to redeem His creation to Himself.
Can I challenge you today? How is the Precious Blood of Christ going to affect your day today? Will it make any difference at all to what you do, what you say and how you live?
Oh may it never be said of us, that we lived as if Christ had never lived; as if He had never died or as if He had never shed His precious blood.
He did it for you and me. Our blood was not good enough to pay the price of sin. He only, could unlock the door of heaven, and let us in. Is His blood precious to you?
If it isn't, return to Calvary, and see again the awesomeness of His sufferings. Sufferings in the physical, sufferings in the mental, sufferings in the emotional and sufferings in the spiritual as He fought with and conquered satan, death and Hell. For you my friend, for you.
Yes, His blood is very precious. If He was prepared to use that to buy our salvation - what can we do for Him?
As David said - I will not offer up a sacrifice that cost me nothing!
And you?
