THE BLOOD WASHES?

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her
heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and
Savior.  The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol,
drugs
and prostitution.  But, the change in her was evident.  As time went
on
she became a faithful member of the church.  She eventually became
involved in the ministry, teaching young children.
It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the
eye
and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to
make wedding plans.  This is when the problems began. You see, about
one
half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers
 was
suitable for a pastor's son. The church began to argue and fight about
 the
matter.  So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their
arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely
out
of hand.  The young woman became very upset about all the things being
brought up about her past.  As she began to cry the pastor's son stood
 to
speak.  He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.  He
began to speak and his statement was this: " My fiancee's past is not
 what
is on trial here.  What you are questioning is the ability of the
blood
 of
Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on
trial.
So, does it wash away sin or not?"  The whole church began to weep as
 they
realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus
 Christ.
Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a
 weapon
against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational
 part
of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not
cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us
 completely.
If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What can
wash
away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus... end of case!
You are blessed of God, now take those blessings and bless someone
else.
