“Can You Boast Of The Blood?”

Joshua 2:21 

For the last several weeks I have talked very much about the blood of Jesus Christ, and today is no different. This precious atoning blood has left a trail from Genesis to the cross of Calvary. I believe assuredly that God is saying, “when I see the blood, I will pass over you.”

Let’s look at Rahab, who depended on the promise that the spies told her about. They told her if she would tie a scarlet cord in the window, that it would hang down to be seen, that the God of Israel would spare and preserve her, for her simple act of faith. You see, it is very important to be obedient, even in the most trivial matters, even it doesn't make a lot of sense to us or to others. She could have set back in her house, that was built upon a wall, and prayed all the while for Israel not to destroy her, but the scarlet cord, (which represented the blood) made all the difference to her and her household in doing the Lords will. Have you been paying close attention in doing the Lord’s will? Maybe you have accepted Christ and have not yet been baptized or been able to take the Lords Supper. Have you truly laid yourself out before the blood of Christ and said, cover me completely. I want to die to myself and come alive in Jesus? Have you trusted the work of Jesus to put your sins away as far as the east is from the west? Can you look back and claim forgiveness and look ahead and know that your only hope is in the precious blood of Jesus? Can the passer-by see the blood by your actions, or are you ashamed to mention it, or show it?

“By The Blood”

Let men and devils gaze  along,

But Jesus’ blood is my boast and song; Let the world crumble and spill,

But it’s by the blood He’ll save and fill.

Weekly Memory Verses: 1 John 1:5-10 

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
