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 problem 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 our 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.
Psalms 55:23
1 John 1:9
