One night at 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, drug 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 long until this faithful had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began o make the 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, the tensions increased and the meeting got 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 up and spoke, " My fiancée's past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning here is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away the sins. 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 were slandering the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. To often, even we, as Christians, bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is one of the pillars of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even Jesus, not only did he teach about forgiveness but also practiced. So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, forgive all of them who are against you and pray for them because our God is a loving God and he wants all his children back to him.
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
God Bless You
