My husband and I like watching crime shows... Bones, CSI, NCIS, etc. One thing that is remarkable is how blood is never completely washed away... it might be invisible to the naked eye but they put these chemicals on them or shine their special lights and there it is... the blood that is so incriminating.
As Christians, that is a great promise. Being covered in the blood of Christ makes us acceptable to God... a pleasing sacrifice... a living sacrifice... and that blood, once applied, can never be washed away. Isn't that wonderful news!
Today is Good Friday. Although it is a sad day because it's a day of darkness... a day of remembrance... a day when we think of Jesus' death on the cross, it is also a great day. If Jesus had not died on the cross, there would be no resurrection and without the resurrection of Jesus, there would be no promise of eternal life for you and for me.
So, here is my question today... Have you been washed in the blood?
"Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow'r?....
Are you fully trusting in his grace this hour?...
Are you walking daily by the Savior's side?...
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?...
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?...
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright?...
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?"
