The Blood of Jesus

I hope that the following meditation that came to me this morning from Joanne Lowe will grant you a blessing.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 1: 5, 6 (King James Version)

Pastor Edward Mote wrote a beautiful song “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less”. The words in this song are what we should do every day “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.” All too often we build our hopes on our families, our friends, our jobs and our money. We must build our hopes on the blood of Jesus.

Thank God that one day our precious Saviour walked that long and lonely road to Calvary and there shed His blood for us that we might have the forgiveness of sins and have a home in Heaven with Him for all eternity. Thank You, Jesus, for the sacrifice You made for us. Thank You so much for loving us unconditionally and for being a forgiving compassionate and tender Saviour.

Has the blood of Jesus been applied to your heart for the forgiveness of your sins? You must first have His precious blood applied to your heart before you can build your hope on His righteousness and blood. Don’t look to your family and friends for your hope. Look to Jesus’ righteousness and His precious blood. Build your hopes on Jesus’ blood and righteousness and keep your heart and your eyes on the One who loves you so much that He died for you.
